Comprehensive Explanation

Implement airside capacity enhancement method and best practices based on Eurocontrol capacity and efficiency implementation manual

• This objective aims at implementing a collaborative capacity enhancement method that releases possible airside capacity improvement areas, to enable the implementation of suitable European best practices to unlock latent airside capacity

• The applicability area is presented in Annex B of the ESSIP Plan Edition 2013 document;

• Initial operational capability - 01/2007, Full operational capability - 12/2013

Most important SLoA(s)

• APO01 - Establish an Airside Capacity Enhancement (ACE) Steering Group. This SLoA is related to the establishment of a Steering Group consisting of senior managers from the Airport Operators, Local Airlines and ANSPs;

• APO02 - Conduct annual assessment of future capacity requirements;

• APO03 - Collect and analyze capacity and performance data;• APO05 - Develop and Implement a commonly agreed local

action plan.
