Operational Improvements in Turkey Evaluation of sector capacities for Antalya TMA results accepted and implemented; Evaluation of sector capacities for Istanbul TMA and parts of Istanbul ACC results accepted and implemented Evaluation of capacities of the new sectors for Ankara ACC Following new ATM System implementation and airspace re-organisation; Transition Plan for SMART and airspace transfer In preparation Very good cooperation on various airspace projects 31 packages of airspace improvements implemented between 2008-2012 as part of the European Route Network Improvement Plan of the Network Manager Real time simulations One executed in Autumn 2012 for Istanbul ACC/APP One planned for 2015 following the implementation of new Ankara ACC 16

Airspace Design Major airspace re-organisation project Implementation of free route airspace in the Turkish airspace, above FL 265/285 Takes into account implementation of the new ATM system SMART Takes into account the transfer of all airspace above FL235 to Ankara ACC Takes into account future Istanbul airport and the need to re-design Istanbul TMA 17

Turkey FRA Project Scope Service provision from central ACC New ATM system Accommodate new airports and major TMAs (e.g. Istanbul ) Accommodate traffic growth 18

Turkey FRA Project 19

Turkey FRA Project Step towards free route Free route scenario Identify main flows Build optimised route network below FL265/285 Build sectorisation free route ready 24

Turkey FRA Project Time scales End of Feb 2013 - full current airspace structure validation, including en-route and TMA; done through a close cooperation between the Network Manager and DHMI to ensure correct representation of the entire Turkish airspace; March 2013-Spring 2014 - detailed development of the Free Route Airspace airspace design and associated sectorisation 2014/2015 - real time simulation of the new airspace structure Spring 2015-Autumn 2015 - fine-tuning of the airspace design, airspace publication validation with the Network Manager, airspace structure testing in the Network Maanager systems Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 implementation Common DNM/DHMI Team Excellent cooperation 25

Conclusions Turkey is the highest traffic generator in Europe in real terms The outlook for the remaining part of this decade is optimistic Operational performance of Turkish airports has significantly improved Turkey is engaged in significant technical and operational improvements To meet the air traffic demand To maintain high operational performance New ATM system New operational concepts New Istanbul airport 26
