Europe’s air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and airlines again are at odds, this time over the EU-wide performance targets for the bloc’s air traffic management for the five-year period starting January 1, 2020. Member states last week approved the targets for what in EU jargon is known as the third reference period (RP3) of the Single European Sky (SES) performance scheme, covering the areas of safety, flight efficiency, en-route delays, and costs. The proposal calls for a year-on-year decrease of the average EU-wide determined unit cost for en-route air navigation services by 1.9 percent. The bloc set a target for the average en-route air traffic flow management (ATFM) delay per flight attributable to air navigation services at a maximum of 0.9 minutes per flight in 2020 and 2021, 0.7 minutes per flight in 2022, and 0.5 minutes per flight in 2023, and 0.5 minutes per flight in 2024.
