E PLAN The following performance plan reporting contains preliminary figures for 2018 and may be revised in 2019. AVIATION SAFETY The goal at the EU level is for RAT methodology to be fully implemented within the EU from 2019. RAT methodology is a way to classify aviation safety incidents. According to the performance plan, though, the objective for LFV is that RAT methodology should be fully implemented by 2015. LFV achieved this objective. In addition to the use of the RAT methodology, there are objectives relating to the level of maturity assessed according to a survey about the safety management system, divided into Safety Culture and Other. LFV’s degree of maturity meets the targets. ENVIRONMENT This objective means that the discrepancy between actual distance flown and the straight-line distance is measured – average horizontal en route efficiency. The aim is for routes to be as straight as possible and thus have as little an environmental impact as possible. Sweden is well advanced when it comes to environment, and has been applying "Free Route Airspace" for several years, which means that it is possible for airlines to fly in a straight line within Swedish airspace. The objective applies for the DanishSwedish airspace as a whole, and was achieved during the years 2015–2017 in the second reference period. In 2018, the target was not achieved. The objective is very ambitious and minor disruptions due to, e.g., the weather or military exercises can cause diversions. The outcome for 2017 has been updated after the final outcome published by Eurocontrol. CAPACITY The objective involves air traffic delays caused by air navigation services measured as an average delay per flight. The performance plan’s en route capacity objective applies to the Danish-Swedish airspace block as a whole. The outcome for 2018 shows that LFV contributed to the objective being achieved by a good margin. The objective has thus been achieved all years in the second reference period. The target for Terminal Arlanda was not reached in 2018. This is mainly due to weather-related restrictions during the winter months and to some extent also to disruptions in technological infrastructure. COST-EFFICIENCY Cost-efficiency objectives were set on national level and measure real unit costs at the 2012 price level measured according to the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices HICP In accordance with the national guidelines produced by the Swedish Transport Agency, costs given for en route are costs for en route operations at the control centres, infrastructure, and a large part of tower operations. For Terminal Arlanda, costs for tower services include management and support services. The outcome was high for both en route and Terminal Arlanda in 2018, since it contains costs exempted from risk sharing relating to additional pension provisions resulting from the reduction in interest rates. With the exception of exempted pension costs, the objective for both en route and Terminal Arlanda was achieved in 2018. The outcomes for 2016 and 2017 were corrected after LFV’s report to the Swedish Transport Agency in the spring of 2018. Costs exempted from risk sharing are financially regulated after the end of RP2, so the final reconciliation will be done no earlier than 2020. During 2018, LFV participated in the Swedish Transport Agency's consultations. 66
