PRB monitoring

  • In 2025, HASP achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.

  • The rate of runway incursions (RI) was 0.69 and equal to the RIs with ANS contribution, with both indicators below the Union-wide average. Compared to 2024, rate of RIs has decreased at both levels.

  • The rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) at State level was 8.25 and equal to the SMIs at ANSP level. Both indicators were above the Union-wide average. When comparing to 2024, rate of SMIs has decreased at both State and ANSP level.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

In 2025, HASP achieved the planned maturity levels set out in its performance plan for all five components of the EoSM.

Greece reported 2 runway incursions (RI) at Athens airport during 2025. When comparing the RIs at airport level to Union-wide level, Greece was lower than Union-wide average (0.69 vs 2.70).

Greece reported 2 runway incursions with ANS contribution in 2025. When comparing airport level with ANS contribution to the Union-wide level, Greece was slightly below the Union-wide average (0.69 vs 0.87).

The rate of runway incursions has decreased compared to 2024 at airport level (0.69 vs 3.91) and remained stable at ANS contribution-level (0.69 vs 0.73).

The monitoring report notes that the improvements in both RI and SMI performance indicators are mainly through internal compliance monitoring, investigation of occurrences and systematic training of ATCOs. The NSA notes in the monitoring report that it intends to monitor the effectiveness on performance mainly through the annual oversight cycle, oversight of occurrence reporting and oversight of change management.

At State level, Greece reported 68 separation minima infringements (SMI) in their airspace during 2025. The rate of separation minima infringements was higher than Union-wide average (8.25 vs 7.87). At ANSP level, Greece reported 68 SMIs with ANS contribution. The rate of separation minima infringements at ANSP level was higher than the Union-wide average (8.25 vs 6.02).

When comparing to 2024, the rate of separation minima infringements has decreased at both State level (8.25 vs 9.05) and at ANSP level (8.25 vs 9.05).
