Digest – Delays to Air Transport in Europe July 2011

EUROCONTROL 2 CODA

FOREWORD

This report gives an overview of the delay situation in the European Civil Aviation Conference Area. This report has been prepared by the Central Office for Delay Analysis (CODA), a service of EUROCONTROL. It is based on the EUROCONTROL CODA database which contains delay data provided directly by airlines.

The report consists of an overview of the reporting period, a summary of the main delay effects, and a series of charts and graphics, which illustrate the main characteristics of the reporting period. A glossary of terms and abbreviations used throughout the report is given in Annex 1.

Airline data from the CODA database contains real recorded delays provided to CODA by airlines and is based on the difference between scheduled time of departure and actual off block time.

This report discusses delays from all causes; for information regarding ATFCM delays see the complementary reports available at www.public.cfmu.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec/index.html

EUROCONTROL 3 CODA

1. Headlines*

In a continuation of the trend of lower delays in 2011, the July 2011 average delay per delayed flight (ADD) for departure traffic from all causes of delay was 29 minutes. This was a decrease of 16% compared to July 2010 and returning the average to the record low level seen in 2009. In addition, the percentage of flights delayed (by 5 minutes or more) decreased by 8.3 percentage points to 44% in comparison with July 2010. The percentage of flights delayed by more than 15 minutes decreased from 29% to 22% (see Annex A).

Looking at Figure 1, Airline-related delays were a main contributor to primary departure delay. Although this proportion saw a 10 percentage point increase in share of delay minutes, its contribution in terms of minutes of delay per flight remained stable. En-route delay saw a 13 point fall in share, but still remained relatively high following ATC capacity delays in Barcelona, Madrid, Canarias, Athens and Marseille.

Weather-related delays were less prominent this month, with the delay minutes for this cause falling. However Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich and Amsterdam were affected by thunderstorms, high winds and low visibility during the month.

* This revised version of the Digest discusses all causes of delay. For more details of the ATFCM delay situation please see the sister publications available at www.public.cfmu.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec/index.html

2. All-Causes Departure Delay Summary 1

The average delay per movement (ADM) from all causes decreased by 30% to 13 minutes in July 2011. In a continuation of the trend of lower delays in 2011 the average delay per delayed flight (ADD) for departure traffic from all causes of delay was 29 minutes (see Annex A).

Departure punctuality improved with 41% of flights departing within the 5 minute threshold before or after the scheduled departure time. This was an improvement of 6 percentage points (see Figure 4).

Figure 5. Primary and reactionary all-cause delay, by IATA code (%)

An analysis of the delay causes and categories (grouped by IATA code) shows a decrease (in percentage points) in the share of Reactionary delay of 3 points. Technical and Aircraft Equipment delay increased with 12% share of the delay, ATFM En-Route Demand & Capacity delay share decreased by 5 points following less industrial action consequently ATFM Staff / Equipment delay (Code 82) also fell; down by 2 points. Although many of the categories saw increases in their share of delay, the average delay per flight fell in every category. The link from these categories to IATA codes is summarised in Figure 13.

Figure 7. Main delay causes at the top 10 affected departure airports

When looking at the Top 20 most affected departure airports: Palma de Mallorca was the most affected departure airport, suffering particularly from airport capacity problems and en-route delays, these categories seeing a 23% share of delay minutes. Madrid Barajas continues to suffer from ATC capacity problems, although the average delay per movement (ADM) fell by 25% vs 2010 the ADM did increase slightly month on month from June 2011. Paris CDG & Orly saw high proportions of airline related delay during the month.

3. All-Causes Arrival Delay Summary 2

The average delay per arrival (ADM) from all causes decreased by 29% to 12 minutes in July 2011 when compared to the same month last year and bringing the average close to the record low seen in 2009, see Figure 9.

In regard to arrival punctuality, a 2 percentage point increase was observed with 25% of flights arriving on time. In addition flights arriving 5-15 minutes ahead of time increased to 26%, and flights arriving > 15 mins early increased slightly.
