So… what?

� Although the 0.5 min/flight target (en-route) not achieved (0.88) and considering the high traffic increase and all ATFM delay causes, hampering an optimal traffic management (sustainable delays), the Network was able to react sufficiently to the numerous challenges.

� NM on the frontline together with stakeholders to mitigate

� Standing still is forbidden, work to be done on delay root causes

� Recruitment plans and social conflicts resolution are fundamental to reduce most of the delay causes as well as:

� airport slots distribution vs effective airport and ATC capacity

� airspace and transition plans aimed at increasing capacity.


2007-2017 traffic and ATFM delays


NM delay saving

� During RP2 NM committed to save:

� 10% of the total en-route ATFM delay/year and

� 5% of the total APT arrival delay/year (internal target)

� En-route 14%, equivalent to approx 1,500,000 min delay saved by NMOC staff� slot list manipulation 12% + accepted rerouteing proposals 2%

� APT arrival 8.6%, equivalent to approx 600,000 mins delay saved by NMOC staff� slot list manipulation


Greek Airports

� Airport function in NMOC established

� NM supports the Hellenic Slot Coordination Authority by monitoring of

airport slots and management of slot allocation within the arrival regulations.

� Arrival traffic + 4.3%

� Delays unchanged

FPL automatic processing

� Joint efforts of NM (implementation of ‘FPL back office’ by NM staff + NTS) with

CFSPs and AOs, aimed at reducing errors in FPLs.

� 98,2% (all time record) of FPLs automatically processed without manual intervention

from NMOC IFPS staff.

� Target 99% - a real challenge!

� NM policy to deploy former IFPS staff in NMOC Flow Domain (starting FP/FM

combined helpdesk/e-helpdesk).

28 Nov 2017: overflights via Baghdad ACC via UM860 and UM688


13 Nov: “Mamma Mia!” 2017 poor performance


Outlook 2018 on ATFM delaysaccording to info available

� Weather - Increasing delay trend

� France - Social and staffing issues are likely (mainly LFMM - plan)

� EDUU (Karlsruhe) � Staffing issues will continue, slight improvement expected during the year

� Delay Optimisation, 4ACC initiative

� MUAC (Maastricht) � Some staffing issues may aggravate airspace saturation

� 10% capacity increase DECO sectors

� NMOC – MUAC Fmp enhanced collaboration

� Spain - stable situation

� Improvement depending on resolution LFBB-LECB interface negotiation (ongoing)

� Canaries delay mitigation before S18 by NM/ENAIRE

� Greece� stable enroute

� critical for airports (ATC staffing), capacity increases likely 2019+

� Airports – EHAM, EGLL, EGKK, LTBA/FJ


Main special events in 2018that may cause ATFM delay

� LFBB ACC reorganisation of upper airspace – March

� LECB/LECM/LFBB interface – March

� EDYY DECO sector group – April

� EHAM/EDYY Mil exe Frisian Flag - April

� EGTT TMA South (EGLL/EGKK approach sectors) – ExCDS – April

� GMMM – New ACC/system Agadir – April

� EGTT TMA East – ExCDS – June

� Baltic Sea - Mil exe Baltops 2018 – June

� ES/EN/Baltic Sea – Mil exe Trident Juncture - Oct/Nov

� Istanbul new Airport – 29th Oct


19th Jan 2018A day to remember: 1st ATFM regulation via B2B

� On Friday 19th Jan 2018 at 0930 lt,

MUAC FMP created the first ATFM

regulation proposal via B2B

� NMOC checked the regulation and

acknowledge it.

� Step forward to release NMOC and

FMP staff from waiting time by phone

� Faster coordination, time saving
