The free route (FRA) phase 1 on state level was implemented and performance data is being assessed towards the next phase implementation. The inter-FAB cooperation with BLUE MED FAB was reinforced by signing a ‘Letter on ANSP level cooperation in FAB matters’ developing relations of strategic importance to DANUBE FAB. The purpose is to establish regular cooperation in the areas of safety, operations, technical, training and performance to create benefits for the stakeholders. The DANUBE FAB activity financed by TEN-T (support to the implementation of the IDP within DANUBE FAB 2012-EU-40003-S TEN-T) regarding the prototyping and validating of CPDLC functionalities, procedures and related HMI was completed in 2014. The work under the same call related to free route operations on DANUBE FAB level continues as scheduled. Traffic and Capacity The 2014 was influenced by an unplanned substantial air traffic growth in result of the traffic flow distortion as a consequence from the situation in Ukraine (since March 2014) which was further accelerated in July. The peak of traffic growth was measured in August, resulting in increase of overflying traffic up to 27.6%. Traffic avoiding the Ukraine airspace continues to influence Sofia ACC. Republic Bulgaria made an outstanding effort to provide ANS without delay despite the traffic growth using its all operational and technical resources and all available tools for optimisation. ESSIP Objective Implementation In 2014 the following objectives were completed according their schedule: 1. COM09 – Migrate ground international or regional X.25 data networks or services to the Internet Protocol (IP); 2. ITY-FMTP – Apply a common flight message transfer protocol (FMTP). Good progress was achieved towards the completion of objectives AOP04.1 and AOP04.2. The A- SMGCS was installed and tested at Sofia Airport and the concerned personnel received the appropriate training. The completion of both objectives will be achieved simultaneously by the end of February 2015. Close to completion is the objective FCM05 (Implementation of interactive rolling NOP). Currently LARA operates in numerous locations in trial mode, operational use on national level is planned in January 2015. Elements of the ATM System - SATCAS are pending upgrade. These upgrades are related to ITY-SPI (operation with enhanced surveillance capability – Mode S, ADS-B and WAM) and ITY-AGDL (Initial ATC air ground data link services above FL285) objectives. With regard to objectives due for 2014, COM10 – Migrate from AFTN to AMHS is late in implementing objective(s) ASP03 and ASP04 – which are planned to be completed in 2015 due to a delay related to the elaboration of the enhanced AMHS capabilities (Extended ATSMHS). The introduction of a new Voice Communication System was a major project, which will be finalised by mid-2015 and contributed to the completion of objective COM09, and towards the progress of objectives COM10 and COM11.
