1 From patchwork to network: Implementing the Single European Sky July 2011

2 The ATM crunch: after the liberalization of air traffic in 1990s There was an unprecedented increase of delays Why? Ageing technologies and systems Fragmentation of European skies Inefficient ATM model Lack of capacity Shortfall in performance of air carriers July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 2

3 Finding the solutions: the SES initiative EC proposal promoted by Ms. Loyola de Palacio (Vice-president of the EC and Commissioner for Energy & Transport) December 1999: the creation of the single European sky April 2004: Adoption of SES legislative package SES I - Framework Regulation (549/2004) - Service Provision Regulation (550/2004) - Airspace Regulation (551/2004) - Interoperability Regulation ( ) July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 3

4 The objectives of SES I To establish a harmonized regulatory framework for: Restructuring the airspace as a function of traffic flows rather than according to national borders Creating additional capacity Increasing the overall efficiency of ATM system Enhancing safety standards Introduction of institutional measures: Separation between regulation and service provision Common requirements ANSPs, certification and designation Involvement of stakeholders Civil-military cooperation Interoperability of ATM network (systems, procedures, ) Active role of Eurocontrol July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 4

5 but some constraints prevented it from obtaining the expected success by 2004 and more actions were needed in order to cope with new challenges: performance, environment, etc. SES II Time to decide July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 5

6 The scenario of the European ATM Unacceptable rate of delays Disproportionate cost of ATM service Unnecessary fuel consumption The goals of SES II A right governance using the Community method as driving force of aviation regulation Ensure the highest safety standards Achieve a more efficient and performing air transport network including the pan-european perspective Establish a sustainable European air transport system July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 6

7 The second legislative package (2009) Four pillars PERFORMANCE: - EU-wide targets; - Network Functions; - PRB - FABs; - National/FAB Performance Plans SAFETY: - Extended EASA Competences TECHNOLOGY: - SESAR CAPACITY: - Airport Action Plan Airport Capacity July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 7

8 The SW FAB (Portugal-Spain) case Setting the scene A vast FAB airspace of more than 8 million of sq. km Natural partners due to the geographic location Many similarities in both ANSP s operational concepts Share in European system ATM/CNS provision cost is 19% Approx. 1,8 million IFR movements Average IFR mov. annual growth ( ) of 2,4-3,8% July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 8

9 Year reference: 2009 The SW FAB (Portugal-Spain) case SW FAB UK-IR Costs ( ) per composite flight-hour (ATFM delays+atm/cns) FAB average % higher FAB s average FABEC 524 DK-SW 347 Blue Med NEED TO ACT AT NATIONAL LEVEL July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 9

10 A new regulatory framework in Spain SES and FAB goals-oriented and towards EU Performance Targets Law 9/2010 RD 13/2010 RD 1001/2010 RD 1133/2010. New ATS provision model Aena provides en-route & approach ATS Designation of new TWR s ATS providers (13) QUICK WINS Economic efficiency improves 20% in 2010 vs 2009 Unit rate reduces 7.8% in 2011 vs 2010 (and foreseen 15% by 2012 vs. 2010) July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 10

11 Aena Air Navigation Strategic Objectives (2015 vs. 2010) From patchwork to network Achieving a competitive performance Spain is now in a better position for planning the evolution of its performance and tackling the challenges raised by SES II and FAB requirements. Increasing safety levels Safety maturity level 11.2% increase 2015 vs Reducing ANS costs En-route controllable costs per Service Unit 8.4% decrease 2015 vs Adjusting capacity to meet the expected demand Minutes of ATFM en-route delay per IFR flight 71.5% decrease 2015 vs Improving control productivity Productivity 17.6% increase 2015 vs Reducing the ANS impact on the environment Reduction of annual CO 2 emissions 700,000 tons accumulated July 2011 Implementing the Single European Sky 11
