Its aim is to provide skeyes’ missed approaches and runway incursions (RI). main stakeholders with traffic figures for 2020 Overall, the rate of missed approaches slightly and relevant data on the performance of skeyes increased in 2020. The increase is largely caused by operations at Liège Airport, namely on three of the a rise in missed approaches due to stormy weather four KPAs: safety, capacity and environment. with wind shear.

U: the unit rate (U) is set at 185.39 EUR for 2021. W: the number of terminal service units (W) equals the weight factor for the aircraft concerned. The weight factor, expressed according to Annex V of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) nr. 391/2013 as a figure taken to two decimal places, shall be the quotient, obtained by dividing by fifty the number of metric tons in the highest maximum certified take-off weight of the aircraft, referred to in Annex IV point 1.5 of the Regulation, to the power of 0.7.

  • Skeyes Evaluates Application of New Drone Legislation
    PRESS RELEASE Friday 18 June 2021 skeyes evaluates application of new drone legislation On 31 December 2020, the new European regulations on drones came into force. These have far- reaching consequences for air traffic. After six months, skeyes will make an initial evaluation. The new regulations turned the drone world upside down: from now on it is easier to fly drones in Belgian airspace except in certain secure zones. skeyes is responsible for drone access to the zones around the civilian Belgian airports. Information In the run-up to the entry into force, skeyes informed the air traffic controllers extensively about the new regulations and the new operational procedures that were developed as a result to ensure the safety of all air traffic. Any adjustment in the airspace requires a lot of preparation, consultation and training before it can be applied. Professional and recreational drone users were informed through various channels about the changes to the online tool and mobile app Drone Service Application, which allows them to request and monitor their drone flights in the zones managed by skeyes. DSA automates and facilitates the whole process from request to flight for both pilots and air traffic controllers within these zones. Safety measures After six months, skeyes will review the new functioning on the basis of the experiences during this initial period. Special attention will be paid to air traffic control around Brussels Airport. That is where the air traffic at lower altitudes is most intensive. It is not only drones that are involved, but also and especially helicopters. Both types of aircraft are used by various (government) bodies for all kinds of events in and around the capital, for inspection flights of all sorts of pipes that are present in large numbers in urban areas, or for security operations.
