The most recent addition to the ATM legislation is Law 4427/2016, aiming, on one hand to reorganise the functions of service provision, performed by HCAA (ATM/ANS and Airport) and on the other hand, to fully separate them from the Supervisory/Competent Authority/Regulatory functions, which by virtue of the same Law, are also reorganised. The latter, will be under a self-governing scheme and will constitute an autonomous entity, named Civil Aviation Authority, institutionally separated from the Service provision functions. Said Law has been recently amended by Law 4482/2017 (through articles 39 up to and including article 43). As foreseen by Law 4427/2016, Presidential Decrees (P.D.) 84 and 85/2018 were recently issued to define the details that will enable implementation of the Law and signify its application which is imminent. However, specific articles like the one referring to working hours of employees, were directly implemented before the issuance of the Presidential Decrees. Consequently, as the new Law (with the aforementioned exception) has not been implemented yet, the data included in this report is based on the legislation of previous years. Greece is a member State of ICAO, the European Union, EASA, ESA and EUROCONTROL and a partner in FAB BLUEMED. The main stakeholders involved in ATM in Greece are the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIaT) and the Ministry of National Defence (MND). The Hellenic Air Navigation Supervisory Authority (HANSA) is the NSA of Greece, operating under MIaT, functionally separated from service provision and responsible, inter alia, for certification of the service Provider(s) under its jurisdiction, their safety oversight, interoperability monitoring and licensing of Air Traffic Controllers, as per SES Regulations. The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) is a State entity, which operates under the authority of MIaT. It is currently responsible for the operation of a number of civil Airports across the country (except Athinai/Eleftherios Venizelos and 14 regional airports whose operation has been undertaken by a private entity. The Directorate General of Air Navigation Services Provision, operating under the Governor of HCAA, is responsible for the provision of ATS, AIS and CNS services for the two ACCs (Athina & Makedonia) as well as for all civil airports, including Athinai/Eleftherios Venizelos and the 14 recently privatised ones. The General Directorate ( HCAA/ANS-HANSP) is the certified provider for the provision of the aforementioned services and the designated one for ATS provision in Greece. A dedicated Division (D4) directly under the Governor of HCAA is responsible for regulatory aspects pertaining to ATM/ANS. The Hellenic National Meteorological Service (HNMS) is a State entity, which operates under the authority of the MND, responsible for the provision of MET. It is the certified and designated MET provider for Greece. The Hellenic Air Force (HAF), which operates under the authority of the MND, is authorized to provide ATS to civil General Air Traffic (GAT) in some airspace/airports under military responsibility without certification and according to special agreements signed by HCAA and MND. In the frame of compliance with Regulation EC 216/2008 article 1.3, HAF has established a dedicated entity with the aim to oversee the ATM/ANS services provided to GAT in military airports. LSSIP Year 2018 Greece 1 Released Issue Traffic and Capacity Traffic in Greece increased by 12.6% during Summer 2018 (May to October), when compared to Summer 2017. The EUROCONTROL Seven-Year Forecast predicts an average annual increase between 2.0% and 5.3% during the planning cycle, with a baseline growth of 3.6%. For Athens ACC, the average en-route delay per flight increased from 0.26 minutes per flight in summer 2017 to 0.81 minutes per flight in summer 2018. 61% of delays were due to ATC capacity, 35% due to ATC Staffing, 2% due to Weather, 1% due to Industrial Action and 1% due to Equipment. For Makedonia ACC, the average en-route delay increased from 0.21 minutes per flight in Summer 2017 to 0.39 minutes per flight in Summer 2018. 80% of delays were due to ATC staffing, 11% due to Weather, 5% due ATC capacity and 3% due to Equipment. A new approach to allow timely development and implementation of operational plans, for both ACCs, including staff availability/recruitment started in 2016 and is expected to be finalized in due time to deliver the foreseen benefits. Average yearly delays for Athens ACC and Makedonia ACC are foreseen to remain close to the reference values depending on the actual implementation of the planned measures. Progress per SESAR Phase The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6.1 (PCP objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that two objectives – AOM19.1 and FCM05 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the percentage of both phases. The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (up to, and including, ATM MP L3 Edition 2011-2017) are also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented by the State.
