The 3 ATM Network Plans EC Regulation No. 677/2011 ATM Network Functions requires 3 network-related plans to be developed by Network Manager Network Strategy Plan What is needed from the network perspective Network Manager Performance Plan What is the NM contribution Network Operations Plan How will network performance be delivered in next 3 years NMB to endorse these plans after a positive opinion of SSC NM to coordinate the Airports component of NSP & NOP 11 11
Network Strategic Plan (NSP) 2012 2019 Main airports need to be much more involved in the management of the network performance. Airport related performance targets being prepared and might be adopted at the end of 2013. A new EU regulatory airports package is being prepared by EC. A better integration of airports in the network management. 12
Preparing for the future The relationship enhancement of all airport actors with the Network in a collaborative manner, contributing to improve the airport operations and consequently the airport performance indicators, while contributing to the network performance. Strategic Objective (SO 6) Integrate the airport operations into the network operations 13
Proposed Actions and Initial goals (2014) Action Address ATFM delays due to airport capacity and their causes Initiate partnership between the ATM network and the airports operations Share information to improve common awareness and operational performance Implement A-CDMA into largest airports Address TMA efficiency including airborne holding and CDOs Initial goals Reduce arrival ATFM arrival delays Agreed procedures between NM, ANSP and fully coordinated airports covering airport slots, analysis of turn-around related delays and their impact, operational relationship and KPIs. 25% of traffic subject to DPI Airport CDM implemented on 20 of the top 40 traffic airports Agreed procedure for monitoring ASMA KPI 14

Disruption & Crisis Network Disruptions ATM disruptions that impact the network operations which may be escalated to a crisis. Network crisis means a state of inability to provide air navigation service at required level resulting in a major loss of network capacity, or a major imbalance between network capacity and demand, or a major failure in the information flow in one or several parts of the network following an unusual and unforeseen situation. 23
Crisis Management Procedure 24
Phases of Operations PRE ALERT e.g. bad weather Stakeholders: Inform NM Network Manager: Gather info NOM Mgt alerted AOCC alerted Handled within NM Disruptions Management e.g. strike Stakeholders: Apply local contigency Inform NM Request measure Network Manager: Gather info Apply measure Inform ATC Activate NDMC Evaluate activation of EACCC Crisis Management e.g. ash Stakeholders: Apply local contingency Inform NM Request measure Network Manager: Network Manager: Declares Crisis Activates EACCC Applies measures Informs ATC Activates AOCC Telecon 25
EACCC Process The EACCC Chairman will contact the affected State Focal Points and those at risk at the start of any crisis, EACCC is convened via meeting or teleconference, A crisis mitigation policy is discussed, agreed and approved by EACCC. The relevant State Focal Points are responsible for the endorsement of the policy by their respective states, The remaining State Focal Points are contacted, Information is disseminated to relevant parties, When the crisis is resolved, EACCC is deactivated, A debriefing EACCC session is held to address the lessons-learned and remaining actions. 26
During crisis: Network Manager s Role NM, with the support of EACCC, will coordinate the response, mitigate the impact, and escalate issues to appropriate bodies. EACCC composition shall be extended to include impacted state representatives and other operational contacts where deemed necessary by NM. The State Focal Points will be the link between their respective local Crisis Structures and the EACCC. During normal times: NM will lead and coordinate the follow-up actions/lessons-learned stemming from previous crises. EACCC members shall provide feedback concerning these actions to NM keeping NM always in the loop. NM and EACCC will conduct exercises to maintain the high level of preparedness for possible crisis events. 27
EACCC Members New EACCC shall have 8 permanent members: The Member State holding the Presidency of the Council, The Commission, The EASA, Eurocontrol, The military, The air navigation service providers, The airports, and The airspace users. This membership shall be extended to the State Focal Points when necessary. 28
