LFV Annual Report 2019 1
REPOR TIN G A CC ORDIN G T O PERF ORMANCE PLAN L
F V 2019 The reporting on the performance plan below includes preliminary numbers for 2019 and may be revised in 2020 when a final reconciliation of the second reference period takes place. AVIATION SAFETY The Target on the EU level is complete implementation of the RAT method in the EU in 2019. The RAT method is a method for classifying aviation safety events. However, the performance plan's goal for LFV was that the method would be already be fully implemented in 2015. LFV has achieved this goal. In addition to the use of the RAT method, there are goals relating to assessed level of maturity according to surveys relating to safety management systems divided into safety culture and other. LFV's level of maturity meets established goals. ENVIRONMENT The goal entails that the deviation between route flown and straightest route is measured on average horizontal en route efficiency. The intention is that the flight route should be as straight as possible and thereby have as little environmental impact as possible. Sweden is at the leading edge in the environmental area and has already used “Free route airspace” for several years so that airlines have the possibility of flying straight through Swedish airspace. The goal for the Danish-Swedish airspace as a whole was achieved during the years 2015–2017, whereas the goal was just missed in 2018. The goal was not achieved in 2019 as a result of weatherrelated disturbances and military aviation activity. The goal is very ambitious and even small disturbances can cause deviations. CAPACITY The goal pertains to delays in air traffic caused by air traffic service measured as average delay per flight. The capacity goal of the performance plan relating to en route applies to the Danish-Swedish airspace block as a whole. The outcome for 2019 demonstrates that LFV has contributed to achievement of the goal. The goal has thus been achieved during all years of the second reference period. The goal for Arlanda terminal was also achieved in 2019. The delays that arose during the year were dependent on weather-related restrictions, lack of resources on certain days during the summer half of the year and disturbances in technical infrastructure. COST-EFFICIENCY Goals for cost-efficiency are established on the national level and measure real unit costs at the 2012 price level, measured in harmonised consumer price index. The costs pertaining to en route are, according to the national guidelines established by the Swedish Transport Agency, costs for en route activities at the control centres, infrastructure and large parts of tower operations. Costs for tower service, including control and supporting services, are comprised for Arlanda terminal. There was a high outcome in 2019 for en route and Arlanda terminal, because it included expenses excluded for the risk sharing with respect to extra pension reservation based on the low interest rates. The goal was not achieved in 2019 for either en route or Arlanda terminal in total or excluding exempted pension costs. The outcome for 2018 has been corrected after LFV's reporting to the Swedish Transport Agency in the spring of 2019. The expenses that were exempted from the risk sharing are regulated in the fee system after the end of RP2, which means that the final reconciliation will take place in 2020. In 2019, LFV participated in the Swedish Transport Agency's consultations. 65
