3 1. TOTAL TRAFFIC Last 13 months average daily traffic Traffic decreased by. compared to June Average daily traffic for last 5 Years June 212 traffic was above the 29 and 21 levels and was close to 211 level Average daily traffic in June for last 5 Years forecast date : months rolling traffic trend 3.8% 3.7% % 2.9% 2. 3% 1.9% 1. 1% % June 212 traffic was in line with the forecast. This graph shows the variation in total traffic for the last 12- month period relative to that for the 12-month period before. The total traffic from July 211 to June 212 decreased by. relative to that from July 21 to June 211. The Volcanic Ash 21 crisis no longer influences the 12 monthly rolling trend.

4 In June 212, some main airports continued to experience a decrease in traffic (e.g. Paris CDG, London Heathrow, Madrid, Rome Fiumicino and Barcelona) compared to 211 while Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Munich, Istanbul Ataturk and Vienna experienced an increase in traffic. The largest decrease was at Ferihegy Budapest (-2.3%) as a result of Malév Hungarian Airlines ceasing operations in February 212. Helsinki and Prague also recorded significant decrease in traffic. The 11. traffic decrease at Madrid Barajas airport is the result of overall traffic reduction in Spain in conjunction with Spanair cessation of operations in January 212. The largest traffic increase was observed at Warsaw (14.9%) and Istanbul Ataturk (13.9 %).airports. The increase at Warsaw was due to EURO 212, while growth Istanbul is due to ongoing traffic increase in Turkey For air operators, the most significant decreases were for Air Nostrum (-28.9%), Air Baltic (-19.9%) and Regional Airlines (-14.5 %). The largest growth was for United Airlines (137.5 %) and Aerosvit Airlines (29.7 %). Many of these changes were due to airline consolidation and restructuring rather than traffic growth. With the exception of Alitalia, the traffic for the top 1 carriers (Lufthansa, Ryanair, Easyjet,Turkish Airlines, Air France, SAS, Air Berlin, British Airways and KLM) increased in June 212 compared to June 211. Unidentified operators (mainly General Aviation) recorded a decrease of 4.9% in June 212. DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - June 212 2

5 Bodo, Oslo, Stavanger, Tallinn, Warsaw, Chisinau, Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, L Viv and Odessa ACCs experienced a significant increase in traffic. The increase in traffic in Poland and Ukraine was linked to the EURO 212. Malta recorded an increase of 31. compared to June 211; this increase is traffic recovery from last year s Libyan airspace closure. Madrid, Seville, Canaries, Tampere and Skopje ACCs recorded significant decreases in traffic. DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - June 212 3

Munich ACC recorded significant delays mainly due to thunderstorms, ATC capacity and staffing. London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich and Amsterdam airports experienced significant delays due to due to strong wind, low visibility and thunderstorms. En-route ATC capacity delays were recorded in Barcelona, Reims, Nicosia, Warsaw, Zurich, Marseille and Zagreb ACCs. Oslo ATCC continued to be strongly affected by staff shortages.. Zurich airport infrastructure and environmental constraints restricted the use of the most efficient runways available.

In June 212, there were three days with an average delay per flight at or above 2 minutes: Thu, 21 June: The majority of delays were due to thunderstorms mainly in London, Brussels, Paris, Langen and Munich ACCs. En-route ATC capacity delays were recorded in Langen, Warsaw, Marseille and Nicosia. London Heathrow, Zurich and Paris CDG airports suffered from bad weather conditions with heavy rain, thunderstorms and low visibility. ATC staffing was a problem in Langen and Oslo ACCs. Fri, 29 June: Weather was the main issue en-route and at the airports affecting Langen, Karlsruhe, Munich and Maastricht ACCs and London Heathrow, Frankfurt and Munich airports. En-route ATC capacity delays were recorded in Munich, Reims, Zurich and London ACCs. Sat, 3 June: The main reason for delay was en-route ATC capacity in Barcelona, Marseille, Reims, Munich and Warsaw ACCs. Palma de Mallorca recorded significant delays due to airport capacity. Significant ATC staffing delays were recorded in Oslo and Marseille ACCs. DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - June 212 1

13 6. ALL AIR TRANSPORT DELAYS (Source: CODA) The analysis below is based on airline data provided to CODA by airlines (AO's). As the airline data collection for, June 212 is not yet complete at the time of writing, this analysis covers the latest available 13-month period (May 211-May 212) and contains details on 6 of commercial flights in the ECAC region ATFM delays reported by airlines are often lower than the ATFM delays calculated by the network manager (NM). ATFM delays of NM are the (flight) planned delays whereas the airlines report the actual experienced ATFM delay on departure. For instance, a flight with an ATFM delay may also have a handling delay absorbed within the ATFM delay. For the airline, a part of this delay is the ATFM delay and the rest is the handling delay Avg departure delay/flight (min) Breakdow n average delay per flight May 212,5 Average En- Route Delay/Flight,3 Average En- Route Delay/Flight NM reported En-Route ATFM delay Primary Delay (excl En-Route) 4,4 Average primary delay 8, Passenger experience Airline Reported En-Route ATFM Delay Reactionary delay Airline reported en-route ATFM delay in May 212 was.3 minute per flight which is slightly lower than the NM reported average en-route ATFM delay of.5 minute per flight. As airlines may assign multiple delay reasons for a delayed flight, some of the en-route ATFM delay may be attributed to other reasons if the other reason prevented the flight from obtaining a slot improvement. A common example is a NM reported en-route ATFM delay reported by airlines as a split between reactionary and en-route ATFM delay. According to airline reports, in May 212 the average delay per flight for all-causes of delay was 8. minutes. The primary delay share of total all-causes delay was 5 (or 4.4 min/flt) of which en-route delays contributed.3 min/flt. The remaining were Reactionary delays, this counted for 4 or a contribution of 3.6 min/flt. Avg departure delay/flight (min) Average departure delay per flight 211/ Based on airline data, the reported share of reactionary delays in May 212 fell by 2 percentage points when compared to April 212 with a 4 share of delay minutes from all-causes.

14 7. ATFM SLOT ADHERENCE Average daily evolution of early and late flights Nº OF EARLY DEPARTURES Nº OF LA TE DEP A RTURES % EARLY DEPARTURES % LATE DEPARTURES In June the percentage of late and early non-compliant departures has slightly increased. Although the overall percentage of traffic departing within their slot tolerance window is above the target (at least 8) there are many airports for which compliance can be improved. Following the general seasonal trend the absolute numbers of flights departing outside the Slot Tolerance Window has increased. However, compared to the same period in 211, the absolute figures show a considerable overall improvement. There are also considerable difference at the level of the countries and airports. Some countries achieve an adherence of 9 and above, whereas other countries only reach a level of 7 adherence to ATFM slots. A continuous positive trend of improvement can be observed especially in Greece and Turkey The chart below shows the top 4 airports (more than 3 regulated flights) with their average daily number and proportion of regulated flights that departed outside of the Slot Tolerance Window Proportion of regulated flights outside the Slot Tolerance Window in June ANKARA-ESENBOGA DUBLIN ANTALYA TEL AVIV/BEN GURION PISA SAN GIUSTO BRISTOL/LULSGATE BIRMINGHAM PAPHOS PARIS CH DE GAULLE LARNACA SEILLE ISTANBUL-ATATURK NICE LUXEMBOURG MANCHESTER PARIS ORLY ZURICH LONDON/LUTON LONDON/HEATHROW VERONA HELSINKI-VANTAA BALE-MULHOUSE LISBOA SCHIPHOL KOELN-BONN OTOPENI-INTL.
