The total traffic from December 211 to November 212 decreased by 2.1% relative to that from December 21 to November 211. the European-wide general strike during Week 46 hindered traffic growth DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - November 212 1
Eight of the top 1 airports had less traffic compared to November 211 (Paris CDG, Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Munich, Madrid Barajas, Rome Fiumicino and Vienna). Traffic increased at Oslo Gardermoen and Istanbul Ataturk airports. Traffic decreased at Athens airport by 14.4%. The largest decrease was at Las Palmas airport (-17.1%) as a result of Islas Airways ceasing operations on 16 October 212. The 17% 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 decrease at Budapest Ferihegy (-16.1 %) airport was a result of Malév Hungarian Airlines ceasing operations in February 212. The largest traffic increases were at Istanbul Ataturk (+11.1 %), Tel Aviv (+7.1%), Istanbul Sabiha (+6 %) and Dublin (+5.8 %) airports. With the exception of Lufthansa, Air France, Air Berlin and Alitalia, the traffic for the top 1 air operators (Ryanair, Easyjet, Turkish Airlines, SAS and KLM) increased in November 212 compared to November 211. Airline consolidation and restructuring explains most of the significant traffic decreases and increases: Air Nostrum (-36.6%) and Finnair (-33.8%), United Airlines (+129.4%), Finnish Commuter Airlines (+39.6%) and BAW shuttle (+25.3% due to the cessation of BMIbaby operations in September). Aeroflot Russian (+18.8 %) recorded a real traffic growth. Unidentified operators (mainly General Aviation) decreased by 2.1% in November 212. DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - November 212 2
Traffic increased significantly at Dnipropetrovsk, Chisinau, Simferopol, Dublin and Odessa ACCs. Malta recorded an increase of 39% compared to November 211 as a recovery from last year s Libyan airspace closure. Traffic decreased significantly in Spanish (Canarias, Palma, Madrid, Seville and Barcelona), Brindisi, Skopje, Tampere, Yerevan and Casablanca ACCs.

Figures are the average daily delays in minutes. Lisbon ACC recorded the highest delays in November due to en-route ATC Staffing and associated capacity issues. Marseille ACC delays were due to the industrial action that took place on Thursday 15 November 212. Langen ACC continues to be affected by ATC staffing and capacity issues. Runway configuration at Canarias island airports due to southerly winds caused delays at Canarias ACC. London/Heathrow, Amsterdam, Paris Orly, Paris CDG, Munich, Oslo, Vienna and Geneva airports were affected by seasonal weather throughout the month with low visibility, fog, wind and snow issues. Nicosia, Madrid, Ankara and Paris ACCs recorded delays mainly due to ATC capacity issues. The limited use of the optimum runway configurations at Zurich airport (due to environmental constraints) and at Istanbul Ataturk airport (due southerly winds) continued to cause delays. Runway configuration at Tel Aviv/Ben Gurion airport during the recent security situation caused delay at the airport with knock on effect at Nicosia ACC.

Some of this delay was due to traffic avoiding Lisbon ACC, which had en-route staffing delays (16% of all the network delays). Thu 15 th Nov: 71, of the Network delay was caused by the industrial action in Marseille ACC. The second main reason for delay was bad weather condition (fog) at Geneva, London City, Amsterdam and London Heathrow airports. Langen ACC also recorded significant en-route ATC capacity delays.

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 November 212 is not yet complete at the time of writing, this analysis covers the latest available 13-month period (October 211-October 212) and contains details on 64% 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. Average departure delay per flight in minutes 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Breakdow n average delay per flight-oct 212,6 Average En- Route Delay/Flight,5 Average En- Route Delay/Flight NM reported En-Route ATFM delay Primary Delay (excl En-Route) 5, Average primary delay 9,2 Passenger experience Airline Reported En-Route ATFM Delay Reactionary delay Airline reported en-route ATFM delay in October 212 was.5 minutes per flight which is slightly lower than the NM reported average en-route ATFM delay of.6 minutes 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 enroute ATFM delay reported by airlines as a split between reactionary and en-route ATFM delay. According to airline reporting, in October 212 the average delay per flight for allcauses of delay was 9.2 minutes. The primary delay share of total all-causes delay was 54% (or 5. min/flight) of which enroute delays contributed.5 min/flt. The remaining were Reactionary delays, this counted for 46% or a contribution of 4.2 min/flight. 15 Average departure delay per flight 211/212 Average departure delay (min) per flight 1 5 2115 2116 2117 2118 2119 2111 21111 21112 2121 2122 2123 2124 2125 2126 2127 2128 2129 2121 Based on airline data, the reported share of reactionary delay minutes in October 212 was 46%.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ISSUES 8.1. PLANNED EVENTS The significant events planned for the month of November 212 were mainly related to training for new ATM systems, to be deployed in the coming months. The training took place in: Vienna ACC, Budapest ACC, Chisinau ACC, Warsaw ACC and TMA, Bratislava ACC, Ljubljana ACC, Stockholm ACC. In all cases NO reductions in sector capacities were originally foreseen. Other events were shadow mode operations in Munich ACC and Karlsruhe ACC (estimated Low impact on Network operations despite sector capacity reductions of 1-2 and 2 respectively); Bratislava ACC (estimated Low impact on Network operations and no sector capacity reductions). 8.2. DISRUPTIONS European general day of industrial action on 14 November: Estimated 15 fewer flights localised in Spain, Portugal and France. No delay impact. Industrial Action at Marseille ACC 15 November: Caused 49, minutes of delay and an estimated 25 flight cancellations. Tel Aviv/Ben Gurion airport between 17-23 November: Capacity restrictions (limited opening hours and rate reductions) due to security situation in Israel. The situation had further ATC impact in Nicosia ACC. DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - November 212 12
8.3. OTHER CONSTRAINTS Staffing Issues at Lisbon ACC: ATC Staffing levels at Lisbon ACC continued to be a problem in the course of November. As well as high delays in Portugal, this issue had consequences also in Seville and Madrid ACCs with the re-routed traffic avoiding Portugal. Staffing Issues at Langen ACC: Although the situation has improved since the last month, ATC staffing levels and the corresponding en-route delay at Langen ACC continued to be an issue also in November. 9. NM ADDED VALUE 9.1 RRP DIRECT DELAY SAVINGS Average daily executed rerouting proposals NM proposed alternative routes to an average of 18 flights per day of which 9 were accepted. This saved 55 minutes of daily delay at a cost of 246nm extra mileage flown. This graph shows the actual daily averages for the previous 13 months period.
