February 2012 traffic was below the 4 previous years and also well below the forecast.

This graph shows the variation in total traffic for the last 12month period relative to that for the 12-month period before. Accordingly, the total traffic from Feb11 to Feb12 increased by 1.9% relative to that from Feb10 to Feb11.

DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - February 2012

Several main airports continued to experience a decrease in traffic during February 2012 (e.g. London Heathrow, Paris CDG, Frankfurt, Madrid, Munich, Rome Fumicino and Barcelona). The largest decreases were experienced in Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Athens, Las Palmas and Prague. Ferihegy Budapest recorded a 29.9% decrease due to Malv Hungarian Airlines ceased operations. The largest increases in traffic were recorded at Bergen Flesland, Istanbul Ataturk and London City. For air operators, the most significant decreases were recorded by Czech Airlines (-30.5%), Iberia (-26.2%), Royal Air Maroc (24.1%), Cimber Air A/S (-19.2%) and Air Europa (-16.8%). The largest growth was recorded by United Airlines (140.7%) and Naysa (40.3%). All of these changes were due to airline consolidation and restructuring rather than traffic growth. Some major carriers (S.A.S, Turkish Airlines and KLM) recorded a growth in traffic in February 2012 which is in line with Amsterdam and Istanbul airport growth. Unidentified operators (mainly General Aviation) recorded a decrease of 7.1% in February 2012.

DNM Network Operations Report Analysis - February 2012

Stavanger, Tallinn and Warsaw ACCs experienced a significant increase in traffic. Spain (Madrid, Seville, Barcelona and Palma ACCs), Rome and Skopje ACCs recorded significant decreases in traffic. The decrease in Malta is both due to slow recovery from the Libyan airspace closure and the general decline in traffic level.

The average daily ATFM delays decreased from 29333 minutes in February 2011 to 22810 minutes in February 2012.

Compared to February 2011, ATFM delays were down by 22.2% mainly due to the lower than expected traffic. The repartition between en-route and airport delays stayed almost the same.

These are the top 20 delay generating locations for the beginning of 2012. Figures are the average daily delays in minutes. The top 20 location represents 76.3% of the entire Network ATFM delays, the top 5 locations represents 38.9% of the Network ATFM delays.
Istanbul, Amsterdam, London Heathrow, Munich and Zurich airports registered the most significant delays mainly due to weather conditions: snow, strong wind and low visibility. th th Frankfurt delays were caused by the Apron and marshalling personnel strike during 9 days between the 16 and 29 February. Nicosia, Langen and Warsaw ACCs recorded delays mainly due to ATC capacity and staffing. Marseille and Reims ACCs recorded delays mainly due to industrial action. Paris ACC registered delays due to ATC capacity and industrial action. Malmo recorded en-route delays due to the implementation of the new ATC system COOPANS. Delays in Ankara ACC were due to reduced ATC Capacity in ORBB (Baghdad) FIR (NOTAM A0004/12).

Since the beginning of the year, an average of 179 flights per day was subject to an en-route delay of more than 15 minutes which is below the 2011 result.

In February the monthly optimum* en-route delays (8030 min) was exceeded (8305 min) despite the lower than expected traffic. Performance in January has assisted the year-to-date en-route delay per flight result (0.29 min/flt) staying lower than the optimum* year-to-date target (0.34 min/flt).

* NMs calculation that provides the optimum en-route delay (min) requirements to achieve the end-of-years target (0.70 min/flight).

In February 2012, only 1 day recorded an average delay per flight at or above 2 minutes. Most significant delays were recorded: On Wednesday 29th February: The Industrial action that took place in France was the main cause for delays representing almost 60% of the delays for this day. Weather was also responsible for delays in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Manchester and Marseille airports due to low visibility and fog. The Apron and marshalling personnel strike generated significant delays in Frankfurt. En-route ATC capacity and staffing affected mainly Langen and Nicosia.

ALL AIR TRANSPORT DELAYS (Source: CODA)

The analysis below is based on the data provided to CODA by the airlines (AO). As the data collection for February12 is not yet complete at the time of writing, this analysis covers the latest available 13-month period (Jan2011-Jan2012) and contains details on 68% 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

Airline reported en-route ATFM delay in January 2012 (0.17 minute per flight) is below the NM reported average enroute ATFM delay of 0.22 minute 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 reports, in January 2012 Primary delays accounted for 55% (4.8 min/flt) of which 2% (0.17 min/flt) is attributed to enroute ATFM delays. The rest are the Reactionary delays counted for 3.9min/flt.

Based on airline data, the reported share of reactionary delays in January 2012 remained stable at 45% of delay allcauses. Both NM and airlines report that en-route ATFM delays reached the lowest point when observing the last 13 months.

The percentage of flights delayed by long ATFM restrictions (exceeding 15' and 30') in January 2012 was the lowest during the previous 13 months. The percentage of long departure delays all-causes in January 2012 was lower compared to January 2011 and was the third lowest during the previous 13 months. The percentage of flights delayed by long ATFM restrictions (exceeding 15' and 30') reached its peak during June and July 2011, with a similar pattern observed for delays All Causes. The correlation between long ATFM delays and long delays All Causes becomes less obvious during winter months with increased weather related delays.

In February 2012, the percentage of early departures has increased well above the yearly average. Although the overall percentage of traffic departing within their slot tolerance window is above the target (at least 80%) there are some airports for which compliance can be improved. NM continues to validate the data used and identify issues contributing to non-compliance.
