Portugal, Spain and Greece added altogether 160 daily flights and completed the top five contributors.

Issue 170. 02/03/2015 Page 1 © EUROCONTROL 2015 Feb15 Estimate Figure 1: Monthly European Traffic and Forecast. Based on preliminary data from airlines for delays from all causes 37% of flights were delayed on departure (>= 5 minutes) in January 2015; this was an increase of 5.7 percentage points when compared to the same month in 2014. The average all-causes delay per movement in January 2015 increased from 7.8 minutes to 9.8 minutes. Further analysis of the delay reasons shows that Reactionary and Airline delay increased respectively by 0.5 and 0.8 minutes per flight (Figure 2). (EUROCONTROL, February). Other statistics and forecasts IATA reported that European scheduled passenger traffic (RPK) increased by 5.8% in 2014 (vs. 2013). Capacity was up 5.2% and the total passenger load factor was 80.8% (IATA, 5 February) ACI reported that overall passenger counts at European airports saw an increase of 4.9% in 2014 compared with 2013. Total aircraft movements were up 2.6% in 2014. Cargo tonnage was up 3.6% on last year (ACI, 5 February). Passenger airlines Capacity, costs and jobs Corsair, a subsidiary of TUI Group, is to be sold to Groupe Dubreuil which owns a stake in Air Caraïbes. Both airlines will operate separately from Paris Orly with Air Caraïbes serving the Caribbean while Corsair will focus on the Indian Ocean along with Senegal and Ivory Coast, the West Indies and Montreal. The Group plans a new fleet which will consist of 11 Airbus A350 aircraft to be delivered between 2016 and 2024. The current airlines’ joint fleet amounts to 15 aircraft serving 15 destinations. Reacting to the news, Corsair unions called a 3-day strike (27 Feb – 1 March) on the ground that the takeover by Air Caraïbes will result in job cuts at Corsair. (Groupe Dubreuil, 20 February & Corsair, 27 February). Industry Monitor.

It includes a proposal for an operational approval for the use of EFB applications by commercial air transport (CAT) operators. General Remarks LX The proposed NPA 2016-12 has the goal to harmonize the implementation of the AMC 20-25 and to give EFB system providers, application developers, operators and regulators guidance how to implement an EFB solution. The 138 page NPA is very detailed and covers all relevant areas. It supports the basic principle that an EFB system should support the pilots and should support a safe operation. Nevertheless in some parts the guidance is very specific, restrictive and complex. This could lead to: - It will increase complexity, manpower needed and time to implement an EFB solution for system suppliers, operators and regulators. - It is questionable if a regulation this complex and specific can cope in all cases with technology innovations especially in the IT- and EFB-Area.
