The aim has been i) to create the preconditions for the development of other sectors of the economy, ii) to increase the accessibility of freight and passengers in trade and service delivery, and iii) to significantly contribute to overall economic growth and development of the economy. The Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA) is a public and self-financed entity, under the Ministry of Infrastructures and Energy responsible for ATM safety regulation in Albania. The establishment of a self-financed and independent Authority has been guaranteed through Law Nr.10233 date 12.03.2010 as amended by Law No. 168/2014 date 10.12.2014 for the Civil Aviation Authority. The ACAA as a regulator is institutionally separated from the ANS service provider, Albcontrol sh.a, which is a joint stock company. Albania CAA and other aviation organizations in Albania are cooperating with EU in several Programs, which aim the full country integration into EU family including aviation community. Albanian Air Navigational Services are provided by Albcontrol Sh.a., which is certified and designated as ATS, CNS, MET and AIS Provider by ACAA. Yet, Albcontrol holds a TO Certification based on EC Reg. 340/2015 as well. The main National Stakeholders involved in ATM in Albania are the following: - Ministry of Infrastructures and Energy; - Albanian Civil Aviation Authority; - Accident/Incident Investigation Body; - Ministry of Economic Development Trade and Enterprises; - Albcontrol Sh.a., Air Navigation Services Provider of Albania; - Ministry of Defence; - Air Force Command. - Tirana International Airport LSSIP Year 2020 Albania 1 Released Issue Traffic and Capacity Summer Forecast (May to October inclusive) 13.5% -54% & 49.9% 2020 2021-2024 Per ACC 0.00 2019-2020 No capacity issues are foreseen for Tirana ACC in Summer 2021. LSSIP Year 2020 Albania 2 Released Issue Albania is associated partner of: The BLUE MED FAB Number of national projects: 7 Number of FAB projects: 4 Number of multinational projects: 1 Summary of 2020 developments: The aviation sector in Europe, including in Albania, had to face severe difficulties during the year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic is visible in a slower progress for some of the ongoing Objectives. The traffic returns close to the 2019 traffic volume (92%)2 are only expected by the year 2024. From an organisational point of view, significant changes are expected for the year 2021, due to the need to implement cost saving measures as a response to the dramatic decrease in air traffic and to cope with the pandemic situation.. The Objective Electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data (INF07) has been implemented in 2020. The following Objectives are envisaged to be completed during the year 2021: - ASM Support Tools to Support Advanced FUA (AOM19.1), - Voice over Internet Protocol in En-Route (COM11.1), - Voice over Internet Protocol in Airport/Terminal (COM11.2), - New Pan-European Network Service (NewPENS) (COM12), - Aircraft Identification (ITY-ACID); - Ensure Quality of Aeronautical Data and Aeronautical Information (ITY-ADQ), - 8,33 kHz Air-Ground Voice Channel Spacing below FL195 (ITY-AGVCS2); - Surveillance Performance and Interoperability (ITY-SPI). 2 https://www.eurocontrol.int/sites/default/files/2021-02/eurocontrol-think-paper-8-impact-of-covid-19-on-european-aviation-in-2020- and-outlook-2021.pdf LSSIP Year 2020 Albania 3 Released Issue Progress per SESAR Phase The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline (Pre-SESAR and SESAR1 non-PCP) and the PCP elements.
