3 1. TOTAL TRAFFIC % % 3.3% 5.1% 5.2% % 4.5% 4.2% Traffic increased by 2.6% in March 218 i Monthly traffic trend 1.9% 4.8% 3.6% 2.6% The traffic increase of 2.6% for March was close to the baseline forecast updated in February 218. NM estimates that some 6,6 flights were cancelled during March due to Storm Emma. This represents.8% of expected March traffic. Comparison to same month last year Rolling 12 month trend Average daily traffic in March for last 5 Years Forecast date BASELINE FORECAST LOW FORECAST HIGH FORECAST 4.2% 27,74 27,21 26, Average daily traffic for last 5 Years Average daily traffic in March 218 was the highest for March in the last five years. It could have been higher but several events slow downed the growth: Storm Emma and industrial action. This graph shows the variation in average daily traffic for the last 12-month period relative to the previous 12-months. The average daily traffic from April 217 to March 218 was 4.2% higher than the average from April 216 to March % 4.3% 4.5% 4.6% 4.4% 4.4% 4.4% 4.2% 3.8% % 3.3% 3.4% months rolling traffic trend Nine states added more than 5 flights per day to the European local ii traffic growth. Spain was by far the strongest contributor with 218 extra daily flights owing to its flows to/from Germany (+44 flights/day) and to/from Italy (+3 flights/day); Spain s international arrival/departure flow was up 9.4%. Turkey was second and added 197 daily flights (when it recorded 157 fewer flights per day in March 217) due to a dynamic internal flow (+79 flights/day) but also due to its flows to/from Germany (+2 flights/day), to/from the Middle-East (+18 flights/day) and to/from the Russian Federation (+17 flights/day). Poland was the third contributor with 1 extra daily flights owing to its flows to/from Ukraine and to/from Israel (+1 flights/day for each flow) but also due to its robust flow to/from North Western Europe (+3 flights/day). Italy added 99 flights per day mainly thanks to its flows to/from Spain (+3 flights/day) and to/from the Russian Federation (+16 flights/day). Portugal (excluding Azores) and Canary Islands both added 82 and 78 flights per day. Morocco added 56 flights per day owing partly to its dynamic flow to/from France (+19 flights/day). Ukraine added 56 flights and saw its international departure/arrival flow grow by 16.5%. Germany added 52 extra daily flights and completed the list. At the other end of the scale, the United Kingdom which was impacted by severe weather conditions in early March recorded 117 fewer flights and saw its internal flow decrease by 6.7% (-7 flights/day). Norway saw 111 fewer flights due to its weak internal flow (-111 flights/day) which fell 13%. The traditional segment remained the main driver of growth with 457 extra flights (including overflights) per day and posted an increase of 3.2%. The low-cost segment went from a 1.1% growth rate in February to 2.9% growth in March and added 217 flights (including overflights) per day. Since the beginning of this year, the charter segment continued to have the fastest growth and increased by 22% (145 extra daily flights, including overflights) owing partly to the recovery of flights between Germany and Egypt and between Ukraine and Egypt. The all-cargo and business aviation segments both declined and were down -2.1% and -1.7% respectively. The aircraft operators which added the most flights to the network on a daily basis in March 218 were Turkish Airlines (+153 flights/day), easyjet UK (+17 flights/day), Ryanair (+89 flights/day), Wizz Air (+8 flights/day) and Vueling (+7 flights/day). The top five external partners (for average daily flights on flows in both directions) were the United States with 868 flights (+5%), the Russian Federation with 681 flights (+13.3%), the United Arab Emirates with 344 flights (+2.7%), Egypt with 245 flights (+44.3%) and Qatar with 187 flights (+22.6%).

4 Seven of the top ten airports had positive traffic growth. Overall, the largest traffic increases in March 218 were at Tel Aviv/Ben Gurion, Ankara, Gran Canaria, Lisbon and Budapest airports. The largest traffic decreases were at Düsseldorf, Birmingham, Hamburg, Oslo/Gardermoen and Milan/Linate airports. The Tel Aviv/Ben Gurion traffic increase was due to the expansion of routes made available by low-cost airlines and increased tourism. Traffic decreases at Düsseldorf and Hamburg airports are due in part to Air Berlin cessation of operations. Birmingham airport traffic variation is partially due to the Monarch cessation of operations. Eight of the top ten aircraft operators flew more compared to March 217. The operators with the highest traffic growth were Eurowings, Jet2.com, Norwegian Air International, SunExpress Airlines and Wizz Air. The highest traffic decreases were recorded by Wideroe, British Airways Shuttle, Scandinavian Airlines System, Flybe and HOP. UK carriers were impacted by severe weather conditions. The traffic variation of Eurowings follows the continued integration of Germanwings, some Lufthansa routes and more recently ex Air Berlin operated routes into the Eurowings operation. Norwegian Air International traffic variation comes from a change in fleet size following new aircraft deliveries, as well as aircraft moving from using NAX to the IBK callsign. Scandinavian Airlines System traffic variation is due to a change in fleet size. NM Monthly Network Operations Report - Analysis March 218 TLP: GREEN Page 4

5 The Sevilla, Lisbon, Canarias, Madrid and Casablanca ACCs variation is due to increased traffic in the South/West axis. However, the highest relative traffic increases in March 218 were in Tel Aviv, Yerevan, Odessa, L viv and Kiev ACCs. Traffic increase in Ukraine is partially due to an increase of overflights from/to Turkey. Israel is now integrated in IFPS and the inclusion of Israeli domestic traffic explains much of the traffic growth for Tel Aviv ACC. The traffic increase in Turkish ACC is due to domestic and Russian flights recovery.the traffic variation in French ACCs and Tunisia is partly due to the relative effects of several days of French ATC industrial action in March 217. Storm Emma has influenced the variation in UK ACCs. NM Monthly Network Operations Report - Analysis March 218 TLP: GREEN Page 5

13 6. ALL AIR TRANSPORT DELAYS (SOURCE: CODA) This section presents the all air transport delay situation as seen from the airlines by using the data collected by Central Office for Delay Analysis (CODA) from airlines. Data coverage is 6 of the commercial flights in the ECAC region for February 218. ATFM delays reported by airlines could be lower than the NM calculated ATFM delays due to difference in methods: ATFM delays of NM are the (flight) planned delays ; 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. In the event of a long delay an example being during ATC industrial action a flight may keep its original schedule however when its flight plan is submitted for example a day later any ATFM delay allocated may be lower or zero, in this case airline reported delay will exceed NM reported ATFM delay. Breakdown Average Delay per Flight February 218 Average Departure Delay/Flight (min) Average En-Route Delay/Flight Average En-Route Delay/Flight 6.63 Average primary delay Passenger experience The average departure delay per flight from All-Causes was minutes per flight, an increase in comparison to February 217 where the average delay was 9.46 minutes per flight. Primary delays counted for 56% (or 6.63 min/flt ), with reactionary delays representing 44% (5.24 min/flt). NM reported En-Route ATFM delay Primary Delay (excl En-Route) Airline Reported En-Route ATFM Delay Reactionary delay Average Departure Delay per Flight 217/218 2 Avg departure delay/flight (min) Further analysis of the past 12 months shows that the average All-Causes en-route ATFM delay reported by airlines was.29 minutes per flight.
