Capacity - Lithuania

Download Report

PRB monitoring

  • Lithuania registered 0 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2025, which remained 0 after the post-ops adjustment process, thus achieving the local target value of 0.03. Delays in Lithuania remained stable year-on-year.

  • The number of ATCOs in OPS was 34, being above the 2025 plan in Vilnius ACC by 2 FTE.

  • The yearly total of sector opening hours in Vilnius ACC was 43,681, showing a -1% decrease compared to 2024.

  • Vilnius ACC registered 5.07 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2025, being 19% above 2024 levels.

En route performance

En route ATFM delay (KPI#1)

NoteFocus on en route ATFM delay

En route ATFM delay

  • Lithuania had 222k flights in 2025, up from the 209k flights in 2024.

  • Oro Navigacija did not apply any en route ATFM regulations that resulted in delay.

Regarding the reasons and circumstances resulting in the achieved level of actual performance of the en route ATFM delay per flight KPI, the NSA reports: “The actual level of en-route ATFM delay per flight was influenced by the alignment of available ATC capacity with traffic demand throughout 2025. Traffic volumes were accommodated without significant capacity constraints, supported by the implementation of planned operational measures and resources allocation arrangements. No major disruptions affecting en-route capacity provision were recorded during the reporting period. Consequently, the actual en-route ATFM delay per flight amounted to 0.00 minutes, compared with the national target of 0.03 minutes and the national reference value of 0.07 minutes per flight.”

Regarding the description of the adjustments to the capacity plan included in adopted performance plan, the NSA reports: “No adjustments were made to the capacity plan included in the adopted RP4 PP. The capacity plan was implemented as approved, and no revisions were considered necessary during the reporting period.”

En route capacity incentive scheme

The Lithuanian NSA reports that a financial bonus is due to the ANSP for 2025 en route capacity performance. The local en route incentive target was set at 0.03 mins/flight and the actual achieved performance was 0 delays.

The NSA has reported that a bonus of € 134,296 should apply.

En route performance indicators at ACC level (PI#4-5)

NoteFocus en route performance indicators at ACC level

Percentage of total en route ATFM delay that occurred on days when the daily throughput was above the expected daily traffic

As background information on actual performance, the NSA reports: “The actual capacity performance achieved in 2025 reflects the continuation of a long-standing trend of maintaining sufficient en-route ATC capacity in Lithuanian airspace. No en-route ATFM delays were generated during the reporting period, resulting in an actual KPI value of 0.00 minutes of en-route ATFM delay per flight.

This level of performance is consistent with that achieved during previous reference periods, where capacity provision was continuously aligned with traffic demand and no en-route ATFM delays were recorded. The absence of delays in 2025 therefore does not represent a significant change in performance, but rather the continuation of established operational practices and capacity planning arrangements that have ensured adequate service provision over time.

As no deterioration in performance was observed, no corrective measures were required during the reporting period. The National Supervisory Authority (NSA) will continue to monitor capacity performance through regular oversight activities, including the review of ANSP capacity planning, traffic developments, operational performance indicators and Network Manager reports, in order to ensure the continued maintenance of sufficient capacity and the timely identification of any emerging risks to performance.”

Annual weighted average of the daily peak throughput

As background information on actual performance, the NSA reports: “The actual performance achieved in 2025 reflects a continuation of the capacity performance delivered by Lithuania during previous reference periods. Throughout RP2, RP3 and the first year of RP4, sufficient en-route capacity has been provided to accommodate traffic demand without generating en-route ATFM delays.

The absence of en-route ATFM delays in 2025 was supported by established capacity planning processes, adequate operational staffing and the continuous alignment of available ATC capacity with traffic demand. No deterioration in performance was observed compared with previous years and, therefore, no corrective actions were required.

The NSA will continue monitoring capacity performance through the assessment of key performance indicators, traffic and capacity trends, ANSP reporting and Network Manager performance data, with a view to ensuring the continued provision of adequate capacity and the early identification of any factors that could adversely affect performance.”
