EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report presents the September 2015 update of the EUROCONTROL seven-year flight and service units forecast. This update uses the most-recent traffic statistics and economic forecasts, and more up-to-date information in terms of traffic trends and recent air-industry related events.

IFR Movements

As expected in the February forecast, European traffic in 2015 remained on average 1.2% above the 2014 traffic levels (January-August period). More sustained growth rates emerged during summer months, nearing the 2% levels. This was notably driven by the low-cost segment.

Since the previous forecast published in February 2015, the oil price, load factors of European carriers and the traffic development per market segment remained in line with the situation observed end of 2014. The economic outlook remained as well mainly unchanged at European level. However at State level, we observed some significant changes in both Northern and Southern Europe. In parallel, several events, either as a continuation from last year1 or as result of more recent developments (e.g. unit rates increase in Germany), led airlines to change their routes, affecting overflight growth in the different States involved. Moreover, the recent events in Tunisia have led to some changes in tourism destinations for the summer period.

At European level, the flight forecast remains mostly unchanged in 2015 with a growth of 1.6% (±0.4 pp). In 2016, the forecast foresees a growth of 2.3% (±1.9 pp) influenced by the leap year effect. In the 2017-2020 horizon, the annual growth rate will reach 2.4% notably thanks to additional capacity brought by the third airport in Turkey from end 2017, lifting the constraints on the European network. However, the capacity constraints will weigh again in 2021 with a growth rate levelling off at around 2%. For the whole 2014-2021 period, flight growth averages 2.2% (±1.4 pp) per year in the base scenario. The average annual growth rate for flights departing Europe to outside European regions is likely to be higher than the rate within Europe itself over the next seven years due to the increasing globalisation. Africa, Middle-East and Asia/Pacific (especially China) regions are likely to attract European traffic due to the higher expected GDP growth.

The base scenario forecast is for 11.2 million IFR movements in Europe in 2021, 19% more than in 2014. By 2021, the high-growth scenario has 0.9 million more and the low-growth scenario 1 million fewer flights than the base scenario. The 2008 peak of traffic of 10.1 million flights is forecasted to be reached again by 2017; a 9-year hiatus as already stated in the February 2015

1 As in the last two published forecasts, we assume no full return to “normal” routing will happen by

the end of the 7-year horizon (2021) for both the Ukraine and Libyan crisis. Assumptions in this document are purely for forecasting purposes and do not represent any policy of the Agency.

Total En-route Service Units

Thanks to a combination of strong flight growth during the summer as well as continuing route-changes over Central Europe largely as a result of the airspace closures since spring 2014, a stronger growth in service units is expected by the end of the year compared to February 2015 forecast. In 2015, 137.7 million service units are expected to be produced for EUROCONTROL

2 ESRA08 is a large, fixed region covering most of Europe. See Annex 1 for a definition.

Member States (CRCO14). This is a 0.8 percentage point revision upwards compared to the February 2015 forecast.

For 2016 and the following years, the higher growth rates are expected to fade out, resulting over 7 years in little change from the February 2015 forecast. In EUROCONTROL Member States (CRCO14), by 2021, 165.1 million TSU are expected and the high-growth scenario has 15.5 million more and low-growth scenario has 15.8 million fewer TSU than the base scenario (+/-12% in terms of growth respectively).

As for the states participating in the Performance Scheme during the second reference period (RP2), their average annual growth rate of 2.8% is in line with the February 2015 publication with a marginal decrease of 0.2 percentage point. In RP2 Region, by 2021 the TSU are expected to reach 134.9 million representing a baseline scenario with a total growth of 21% compared to 2014.

Terminal Navigation Service Units

In the countries participating in the Performance Scheme during the second reference period (RP2), the forecast of Terminal Navigation Service Units for 2015 has been revised upwards by 0.3 percentage point and is expected to reach 7.5 million for 2015. Following similar trends as the en-route service units, growth will then weaken and the average annual growth between 2014 and 2021 will stand at 2.7% on average (a 0.2 percentage point downwards revision compared to the previous forecast) to reach 8.7 million by 2021.

risks (e.g., reduced capacity for this Winter and next Summer) and upside risks (e.g., current high load factors might not be able to absorb the passenger demand when traffic begins to grow again). These are discussed in Section 6.

The EUROCONTROL 7-year forecast will be next updated in February 2016, through the improved process which opens the forecast preparation phase to a wide audience (inside and outside EUROCONTROL) and uses a richer set of inputs.

1 Introduction

1.1 Context

This document presents an update of the 7-year forecast published by EUROCONTROL in February this year (Ref. 1). This forecast update is produced every year, in particular to allow the capacity-planning process to use the most up-to-date information. To achieve this, the EUROCONTROL Statistics and Forecast Service (STATFOR) refreshes mid-year the main inputs to the forecast.

The forecast describes the annual number of IFR flight movements, annual number of total en-route service units and annual number of terminal navigation service units up to 2021.

For this update, three sets of the inputs have been revised: the assumptions on economic growth have been updated using economic forecasts available in mid-August; the traffic (IFR movements and service units) baseline has been re-aligned to take into account annual traffic to the end of July; adjustments and assumptions have been refreshed to better reflect the effect of the different traffic disruptions (e.g., Tunisia tourism crisis). For all other inputs and assumptions, see the description in Section 3 of Ref. 1.

The forecast method is similar to the one used in the EUROCONTROL 7-year forecast published in February 2015. An overview of the forecast method is given in the Section 1.2, and more details on the forecast method are given in Ref. 2.

This document contains a presentation of the latest traffic trends (Section 2), a presentation of the forecast inputs and assumptions (Section 3). The flights (Section 4) and Service Units (Section 5) forecasts to 2021 are then discussed. Section 6 indicates the main risks surrounding the forecast. A presentation of the geographical definitions can be found in Annex 1 . Forecast details for Europe as a whole are presented in Annex 2 . Annual total forecasts per States for IFR flights, en-route service units and terminal navigation service units can be found in Annex 3 to Annex 9 . The IFR flights forecasts per State (with details per flows) are provided via the STATFOR Interactive Dashboard (Ref. 3).

This 7-year IFR movements and service units forecast replaces the publication dated February 2015 (Ref. 1). The next 7-year outlook, for 2016-2022, will be published in February 2016, following an extended review cycle, introduced since December 2013.

1.2 Forecast Method

For the new forecast process, we have produced a completely revised set of documentation on the forecast methods (Ref. 2). This documentation describes the methods at a number of levels of detail, from a two-page summary, to a

function-by-function reference. For convenience of readers, the summary is reproduced in this section.

EUROCONTROL/STATFOR provides impartial air traffic forecasts, market analyses and statistics to the ATM community in the widest sense, to improve understanding of current and future trends, to enable better-informed decision making and thus to improve network performance. The STATFOR forecast has been serving European ATM since the 1970s. It is the only air traffic forecast covering Europe.

STATFOR publishes a forecast of IFR flights and both en-route and terminal service units for the next seven years in Europe. The main forecast update is published in February each year. Our focus is on the traffic forecast for States or larger regions. This influences the modelling choices made in the forecasting process. Other EUROCONTROL units use this high level forecast to drill down to the level of airports, control centres, sectors etc.

The number of flights depends on the interaction of supply and demand: an airline operates a flight between an airport A and an airport B because it has customers who pay to travel or ship goods from A to B. Supply and demand are each influenced by a large number of factors like economy, regulation, demographics, business development, oil prices, high-speed rail. When forecasting, we use data that describe these factors, and data more directly about actual and future supply (past flights, and future schedules). Some data are more relevant to the short-term horizon (e.g., airline schedules) while others are used in the medium-term horizon (e.g., demographics). Probably the three most influential inputs to the forecast are:

Economic growth forecasts obtained from external specialists, and which in recent years have been very variable; growth has slowed, but there is nothing in our data to show that flight growth has decoupled from economic growth;

Regulation, e.g., rules on visas, open skies, airport funding, aviation taxes;

Overflight patterns since, for the majority of States, most of their flights are overflights. A crisis such as that in Ukraine can easily change the number of flights by 10% or more in a number of States due to re-routing, even if the number of flights on the network as a whole is little changed.

Overall, the components of the forecast can be grouped into five elements as in Figure 6. An initial annual forecast for the next seven years based on economic, transport and other trends;

A monthly forecast based on trends, economics and airlines’ plans;

These are merged, and constrained by airport capacities to give the constrained forecast;

The final step of the flight forecast is to calculate how many flights are generated in each State, using both routings through airspace observed in the historical data and recent trends.

The number of service units in a charging zone depends on the number of flights, the weight of aircraft and, in the en route case, the distance flown. The two service unit forecasts therefore take the flight forecast as an input

and combine this with time series forecasts of weight and distance as needed. This gives total service units, from which future chargeable service units are estimated using the ratio of chargeable/total from the previous calendar year.

Figure 6. The components of the STATFOR seven-year forecast.

We use a highly-automated and structured process to produce traffic forecasts and because of the variety of factors and inputs, different forecasting techniques are used: traditional time series methods to extrapolate historical patterns, econometric analyses to take into account how economic, social and operational conditions have an effect on the development of traffic, scenario-based inputs to describe the future (what Europe will be in 10 years’ time?) and specific data-driven models (e.g., high-speed rail development model). As for any forecast, the method relies on historical data either for taking a snapshot of the most recent trends or longer history to calibrate the models.

The future is always uncertain. We capture this uncertainty in the forecast through three forecast scenarios: low- and high-growth scenarios, with the most-likely ‘base’ forecast in between. All three scenarios should be considered as part of the risk management of any decision based on the forecast.

As requested by Stakeholders, we have re-calibrated:

since the February 2014 forecast, the key relationships with economic growth, including introducing more specific country-pair flow relationships where these make statistical sense. This re-calibration process is described in Ref. 4.

since the February 2015 forecast, the key relationships with high-speed train growth. This re-calibration process is described in Ref 5.

2 Flight and service units trends in 2015

Since the beginning of 2015, European traffic remained on average 1.2% above the 2014 traffic levels (compared with January to August in 2014). More sustained growth rates emerged during summer months, nearing the 2% levels. This was notably driven by the low-cost segment, which grew at a 6% rate, as well as by the Traditional scheduled segment (making up the vast majority of the traffic), which displayed a positive growth rate again. 2015 traffic has been in line with the forecast published in February.

Inside Europe, several events, either as a carry-on from last year (e.g. airspace closure in Ukraine and Libya) or as result of more recent developments (e.g. unit rates increase in Germany), led airlines to change their routes, so affecting overflight growth in the different States involved. Outside Europe, United States overtook Russia as the non-European destination adding the highest number of flights.

2.1 IFR Movements

The overall positive traffic growth trend in 2014 helped the European carriers to start 2015 more smoothly. During the first half of 2015, major European carriers managed to reduce their losses and even publish a collective increase in operating profits compared to the same period in 2014 (see Ref. 6 and Ref. 7). Nearly all carriers showed robust passenger growth and they benefited from lower fuel prices, but this was limited by the strength of the US dollar. The overall European traffic growth was limited at the start of the year compared to other months: economic recession in Nordic States, continuation of the crisis in Ukraine and industrial actions. This resulted in limited traffic growth in the first months of the year. As shown in Figure 7, 2015 IFR flight traffic was in line with the forecast published in February 2015.

However, since the summer schedules began, sustained growth was observed: July and August were, with more than 30,700 flights per day on average, the busiest on record. Figure 7. 2015 number of flights is 1.2% above 2014, in line with the February 2015 forecast.

Total traffic in both the busiest north-western European states (UK +1.8% and Germany +1.4%) and southern European States (Turkey +6.7%, Spain +2.8% and Greece +4.0%) consistently contributed to network growth from May to August 2015 (compared to the same period in 2014).

Network contributors 2.1.1

Figure 8 shows the main contributors to the local traffic growth for January-August 2015 period:

As was the case in 2014, Turkey remained the main contributor to traffic, adding some 150 daily flights, followed by the United Kingdom (+129 flights per day) thanks to arrival and departure flows but also to renewed growth in domestic flows (+3.9%).

Spain (+3%) and Greece (+6%, thanks to sustained traffic demand for the Greek islands) are also amongst the top five contributors, as was the case last year. Compared to 2014, Germany has now moved to the leaders, adding 90 flights per day (excluding overflights).

On the right-hand side of Figure 8, Norway, hit by the oil crisis, is the country that removed most flights from the network since the beginning of the year, due to weakness in its internal traffic and other arrival/departure major flows, amounting to a loss of around 75 daily flights from the European network. Ukraine also removed just less than 70 flights a day, mainly due to the continuation of the crisis which began in 2014.

Figure 8. Since the beginning of the year 2015, most of the States have been adding traffic to the Network (vs same months last year).

Routing aspects 2.1.2

Several events affected overflight traffic in the summer5 2015, as is shown in the Figure 9.

Figure 9. How the flows changed within Europe in the Summer of 2015 (May-Aug).

Ukraine-crisis: the effects of disruption are diminishing

In the summer of 2015, Ukraine’s overflight flows decreased by 37% (vs the same period last year). We still saw the impact of traffic shifts due to the unavailability of airspace in this state in 2014: central European states (Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey) continued to see increases in overflights as the flows between Europe and the Middle-East/Far East Asia were re-routed in a more southerly direction (avoiding Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova). However, at the end of August, four routes in the airspace over the Black Sea were opened once more, but it is too soon to say how these will affect overflight flows.

Southern European States: Cyprus, Greece and Malta balancing African flows

The closure of Libyan airspace (August 14) continued to have a strong impact on Greece as the flows between Europe and Africa, which had previously crossed Maltese airspace, shifted eastwards into Greece. From August onwards, some procedural changes aimed at re-balancing the flows between Malta and Greece, especially on the west-east flows, took effect.

Since July, Cyprus has recorded strong increases in overflight growth, which is mainly explained by some traffic increase in flows from/to Israel (up to 40% in some cases).

5 Summer is referring to May-August 2015 period in this part.

Impact of increased unit rates in Germany led to routing changes in the region

Over the summer period, overflight traffic growth was quite weak in Germany (<1% on Summer 2014), compared to its neighbours. Indeed, some of these neighbours recorded quite high growth rates (e.g. Netherlands overflights +4%). The impact of the unit rate increase in Germany is associated with some traffic shifts to avoid that State, or more often to minimise their distance flown inside Germany as the latter is difficult to avoid.

Main shifts observed were:

west-east flows (e.g. to/from UK) were shifted in either a more southerly direction through France and Switzerland, through Belgium/Luxembourg or the Netherlands, only partly clipping Germany and Austria;

flows between north and south-west (e.g. Norway-Spain) were shifted westwards through the Netherlands and Belgium/Luxembourg;

flows between the north and south-east (e.g. Denmark-Turkey) reduced the distance flown through Germany and Czech Republic, flying for longer in Sweden and Poland.

In consequence, overflight distance flown in Germany decreased by 1.6% in the summer (vs summer 2014). Distances flown in Austria - which was less affected - showed a small increase of 1% (vs Summer 14). Belgium/Luxembourg saw a 2% increase in distance flown during the summer period. As heavy traffic was experienced in the Brussels sectors of Maastricht Upper Area Centre (MUAC) airspace in the first half of the year, an off-load route strategy was implemented, aiming at shifting traffic from the Brussels to the Deco sectors in order to alleviate traffic pressure and generate less delay. This resulted in a jump of nearly 6% in distances flown over the Netherlands.

South-West axis

There were the usual, but often hard to predict, shifts in traffic flows between North America and north-western Europe, due to winds:

more southerly through Santa Maria in the May-June period;

more northerly through Ireland since August.

Extra-European partners 2.1.3

Since the beginning of the year, the United States has become the number one destination from Europe in terms of number of flights: 430 departures per day on average (see Figure 10), so larger than Russian Federation (380 departures per day on average for the period January to August 2015).

This is a return to the situation prior to 2011 when the United States was the first destination from Europe, ahead of the Russian Federation. A 19% drop in flights from/to Russia (caused by the financial crisis in Russia in April 2014) has been recorded on average since the beginning of the year, leading to a reduction in European overflights too (notably on the flows between Egypt and Russia).

Morocco and United Arab Emirates are respectively the third and the fourth extra-European partners. Then, Israel is the fifth destination from Europe with an average of 125 departures per day over the period January to August 2015.

Page 20: EUROCONTROL SEVEN-YEAR FORECAST … Manager Flight Movements and Service Units 2015-2021 EUROCONTROL SEVEN-YEAR FORECAST SEPTEMBER 2015 Edition Validity Date: 01/10/2015 Edition: 15/09/04-48

The Europe to Israel flow recorded substantial growth rates in July and August (~15% on the same months in 2014), reaching traffic volumes comparable to the flows from Europe to Morocco over the Summer, following the launch of some low-cost connections.

Traffic flows from Europe to Tunisia recorded a substantial decline since the beginning of the year (a 17% drop on average compared with January to August 2014) following the terrorist attacks in March and July. The 2015 traffic volumes between Europe and Tunisia fell to 2011 levels, which were affected by the disruption that followed the Arab spring.

Figure 10: In 2015, the United States overtook Russia as the non-European destination adding the most flights.

Airline industry 2.1.4

Since the beginning of the year, the load factors of European carriers remained in line with the 2014 (record-breaking) ones on Europe cross-border flows (see Figure 11), with a noticeable improvement in July/August.

Figure 11. 2015 European load factors remained comparable to 2014 record highs, even improving in July/August (Source: AEA).

Figure 13 shows the traffic development per market segment. Over the January to August 2015 period, the low-cost segment maintained its dominant growth position, with a growth rate of nearly 6% and was followed by the traditional

scheduled segment, which grew by 0.7% since the beginning of 2015 (vs. same period 2014).

Part of the low-cost segment’s growth is related to the fact that some traditional carriers, as part of restructuring, have handed their short-haul journeys to low-cost carriers. On the growth side, the all-cargo segment posted an average of 0.8% growth since the beginning of the year.

Business aviation recorded a decrease of 1.9%. Charter (non-scheduled) was the weakest market segment, with a fall of 13% compared with the period a year ago. This was mainly due to a decline in traffic to/from Russia and Tunisia. In addition, the charter segment decrease was also attributed to a number of aircraft operators moving to a more scheduled operation in 2015, compared with last year.

Figure 12. Low-Cost is the only segment which has grown consistently at a modest rate of 6%.

Airline ticket price growth in Europe seems to have accelerated since the beginning of the year (Figure 14). Ticket price inflation has stood at an average level of 1.5% since the beginning of 2015. The trough in April 2015 was mostly driven by Easter.

Figure 13. In 2015, the trend in ticket price changes (air travel) in Europe increased to some 1.5% more than the year before, on a 12-month trailing average. Note that, on this graph,

ticket prices are deflated by overall consumer prices

As Figure 15 shows, oil prices fell to some €43 per barrel in August; prices averaged out at €51 since the beginning of the year. Fuel prices have consequently been low, with an average of €500 per tonne since the beginning of 2015.

Figure 14. In 2015, oil prices hovered around €50 per barrel.

2.2 En-route Service Units

During the first eight months of 2015, the total service units (TSU) for the CRCO14 region increased by 5.1% from 88.5 million in the year-ago period to 92.6 million. Such an increase of 5.1% is above even the high scenario (+4.8%) published in the February forecast for 2015.

Figure 15. Evolution of total service units recorded in CRCO11 area from January 2011 to July 2015.

When comparing the TSU produced over the period January-July 2015 (compared to the same period last year), we observed that:

Re-routings in the South-East axis further to the closure of the Eastern Ukraine airspace led to variations in TSU growth for neighbouring CRCO14 states. As a result, TSU for Bulgaria, Georgia, Hungary,

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Turkey have still increased by more than 15% each (and up to 25% for Bulgaria) whereas Ukraine and Moldova have respectively decreased by 67% and 58%.

Similarly, the route changes over the North-African area led to TSU increases in Greece, Cyprus and Malta (respectively 12%, 10% and 6%).

Amongst the North-West European States (in terms of TSU), France and Netherlands have increased by 2% each, Germany and UK by 1% each while Belgium/Luxembourg TSU increased by 5%.

3 Forecast inputs and assumptions

The forecast is driven by past trends and by scenario assumptions for the future. Since February, the economic forecast remained mainly unchanged at European level. However at State level, we observed some significant changes (Greece downwards revision and the Scandinavian countries upwards revision,…). Moreover, the recent events in Tunisia have led to some changes in tourism destinations for the summer period. The airspace unavailability over Ukraine, Libya, and Near-East are still generating changes in routings and currently changing the pattern of Eastern Europe flight growth. Lacking any indication of when there might be a re-opening of these airspaces, we assumed that these new routing patterns will be used until the end of the forecast (2021).

The forecast is derived from historical traffic data and a set of scenario assumptions. All the input assumptions made in the February forecast (e.g., load factors evolution, demographics, high-speed rail network development etc, see Ref.2) have been reused, except for the economic growth forecast and the specific events and traffic trends. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 describe how they influence the forecast.

As usual, there are three scenarios presented in this forecast. The “Base” scenario represents the most-likely development of the traffic and is an intermediate point between a “Low” scenario (weak growth) and a “High” scenario (strong growth).

3.1 Economic growth

Forecasts of growth in gross domestic product (GDP) are provided by the Oxford Economics Ltd (OE) forecast of August 2015 for all States6 and regions. The high‐ and low‐growth scenarios are based on fixed offsets7 from these forecasts.

Economic forecast for Europe

Figure 16 illustrates how little the economic forecast for EU countries has changed since the preparation of the February flight forecast (indicated as MTF15). The economic outlook for EU has been slightly revised downwards for the 7-year-horizon (2015-2021) in the OE August release (indicated as MTF15b), mostly due to a downgrade in 2015.

Looking at a state-by-state comparison of the change in GDP growth between the current and the previous forecast for 2015 (see Figure 20), more significant revisions can be observed.

Figure 20. GDP growth change per State in 2015 between this forecast (MTF15b) and the previous one (MTF15).

Significant changes were observed among busiest States in Europe: while UK forecast has been revised downwards by 0.4% due to expenditure components growing less than previously estimated; Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and France have on their side been lifted upwards (by 0.8%, 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively). The economic crisis affecting Greece explains the negative revision of the GDP forecast by 3.1%. To a less extent, Turkey was expected to grow more slowly. Despite a downwards revision in the previous forecast due to the continuing Russia-Ukraine crisis, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia have seen a further negative revision of their economic growth. Armenia and Georgia were also revised downwards triggered by deterioration in things in Russia (4.1% and 2.9%, respectively). On the other hand, Ireland and Iceland are revised upwards benefiting of the boost of their export thanks to the low euro. The Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, and to a lower extent Denmark) are also revised positively since they

are expected to be less affected by the economic troubles than earlier foreseen by OE. Finland is however again revised downwards.

Looking at the cumulated change over the seven years in terms of GDP growth, the results are a projection of 2015 revisions. For Germany, the OE forecast has a more optimistic forecast for the next seven years than that of the German Government one, used in the February forecast.

3.2 Events and trends

The ‘events and trends’ assumptions consist of adjustments to arrival, departure, internal, overflight traffic and also en-route service units. The effects considered are described in the remainder of this section.

Traffic patterns

The economic crisis in Russia observed since the second half of 2014 has had a major impact on traffic flows to and from Russia. In the first half of 2015, these flows were down by 20% compared to the same period last year (see Section 2.1). Important declines in arrival/departures traffic to and from Russia have been foreseen until end of 2016.

Following the terrorist attack in Tunisia on 26 June, flights were down 33% in July (see Section 2.1). Similar declines in arrival/departures traffic to and from Tunisia have been foreseen until end of the Summer 2016.

The recovery scenario foreseen for Egypt in the February forecast assumptions was cancelled since tourist traffic is again under pressure due to perceived threat from terrorism.

Edition Validity Date: 01/10/2015 Edition: 15/09/04-48 Released Issue 27

No specific adjustment has been made to traffic of any of the States affected by the re-routings due to the airspace unavailabilities (Ukraine and Libya, Iraq) since most of these route changes have been observed in the traffic trends from the second half of 2014. The recent changes observed at the end of August with the reopening of four routes in the airspace over the Black Sea should already be partially taken into account, but it is too soon to make robust estimates of their effect. Lacking any indication of when there might be a re-opening of other routes in Ukraine, we assumed there will be no restoration of pre-crisis traffic patterns (“normal” routings). This means that these new routing patterns observed in Eastern Europe will be used until the end of the forecast (2021).

Airline failures

Some adjustments have been made to model the impact of airline failures (namely Cyprus Airways declared bankrupt on January 2015, failure of B&H Airlines in Bosnia-Herzegovina in February 2015 and EuroLOT in Poland suspending operations from April 2015). Such events are modelled by short-term impacts on the concerned flows to assume a return to previous traffic levels within 1 year as other companies fill the gaps. Some other failures from European airlines with small market shares were observed but not modelled due to their limited impact.

Sport events

EURO2016 (European football cup) to be held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016 (9 sites) is likely to have a small impact on traffic in France. In accordance with estimates from the DGAC/France, STATFOR derived expected impact based on the EURO2008 and EURO2012 historical data. French Arrivals/Departures and Internal flows are expected to see 0.1% and 0.08% additional traffic respectively.

EURO2020 (European football cup) to be held in 13 different European countries (Azerbaijan, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Spain, UK holding the final and semi-finals) during the middle of 2020 is likely to have a small impact on traffic in those countries. We derived expected impact based on the EURO2008 (co-organised by Austria and Switzerland) historical data. Since most of the extra flights are generated during the final and semi-finals, 80% of the total impact was attributed to the UK. The rest of the impact was split between the other countries.

Other adjustments

Some other adjustments have been made, based on best information available about schedules patterns as well as preliminary slot bookings for the next 12 months (Winter 2015/16 and Summer 2016).

The assumptions presented here have been constructed solely in support of the forecast and do not represent any political view of EUROCONTROL.

4 Growth in IFR flights to 2021

The new forecast is for 11.2 million IFR flight movements (±0.9 million) in Europe in 2021, 16% more than in 2014. In 2015 we expect a growth in flights of 1.6% (±0.4 pp), which is very close to the February forecast (slight upwards revision). These high-level figures, however, hide larger local differences.

From 2016 onwards, European flight growth is expected to be back at around 2.2% per year. The 2008 peak of traffic of 10.1 million flights is forecasted to be reached again by 2017; a 9-year hiatus as already stated in the February 2015 forecast publication.

Any user of the forecast is strongly advised to consider the low-to-high ranges.

4.1 Short-term outlook (2015-2016)

At European level, the flight forecast remains mostly unchanged in 2015 with a growth of 1.6% (±0.4 pp). This represents a small upwards revision of 0.1 pp versus the February forecast. These high-level figures, however, hide large local differences.

In 2016, European flight growth is revised downwards by 0.7 pp to a growth of 2.3% for 2016. The leap year effect accounts for 0.3% of the growth. There is a wide uncertainty (±1.9 pp) between the low and high scenario due to more downside assumptions8 lowering the low scenario.

Northern Europe

The upwards revision of the economic forecast of the Scandinavian countries (see Section 3.1) as well as the shift of flows between North-West Europe and North-Atlantic to more northerly routes (see Section 2.1) have positively impacted their flight forecasts for 2015: Sweden +3.3 pp, Norway +1.8 pp, Finland +1.7 pp and Denmark +1.4 pp. The upwards revision foreseen for 2016 is more limited.

North-West Europe

Out of the five busiest European States, the forecast for Germany has slightly been revised upwards (+0.4 pp) compared to the February 2015 forecast thanks to higher arrival/departures boosted by the revision of its economic growth. As explained in Section 2.1, the number of overflights over Germany has not been negatively impacted by the increase of its unit rates (airlines have mainly minimised the distance flown over Germany). However, the latter generated some routing changes over the neighbouring countries explaining largely the upwards revision of our forecast for Netherlands (+1.6 pp) and Belgium/Luxembourg (+0.8 pp).

Flight forecast for UK and France remains constant compared to the February 2015 forecast with a growth expected to equal 1.9% and 1.3% in 2015 (respectively).

The Ireland forecast has been revised upwards thanks to strong economic growth as well as shifts in traffic more northerly on flows between North-America and North-West Europe recently (see Section 2.1).

Southern Europe

Even if July and August recorded the busiest traffic levels since records began at European level, the number of flights (Arrival/Departures) in the summer has been lower than expected in Southern Europe. Accordingly, forecasts for 2015 have been revised downwards for Greece (-2.7 pp), Italy (-1.4 pp), Spain (-1.2 pp) and Canary Islands (-4.4 pp). Lisbon FIR forecast has however been slightly revised upwards (0.4 pp).

Forecast for Malta has been revised upwards in 2015 to 1.1% (+5.6 pp versus February forecast) thanks to higher Arrival/Departures and overflights. The latter are higher-than-expected in spite of the Libyan airspace closure notably thanks to re-balancing of the flows between Malta and Greece. This factor also explain partially the downwards revision of the Greek forecast.

Turkey remains the biggest European contributor to the network growth. Traffic forecast for Turkey is set for higher growth of 7.6% (+2.6 pp versus February forecast) thanks to strong international arrivals/departures since July and a renewed growth in domestic flows.

The 2016 flight forecast for all these States remains mostly unchanged compared to the February publication.

Eastern Europe

The forecast of Ukraine for 2015 has been strongly revised upwards (+22.9 pp) due to higher number of overflights than foreseen in February. A correction in the Ukraine overflight countings has been performed for December 2014 and

The re-routed flights avoiding Eastern Ukraine on flows between Europe and Middle-East/Far East Asia impact positively the forecasts of the central European States: Hungary +6.8 pp, Serbia & Montenegro +4.7 pp, Czech Republic +4.8 pp, Bulgaria +3.9 pp and Slovakia +3.0 pp.

The 2016 flight forecast for all these States has also been revised but on a smaller scale.

Europe as a whole

The upwards and downwards revisions observed at state level and discussed above balanced out. 2015 forecast for Europe is now for a 1.6% (±0.4 pp) flight growth, see Figure 23, a slight upwards revision of 0.1 percentage points compared to the February forecast.

2016 forecast for Europe is now for a 2.3% (with a wide uncertainty of ±1.9 pp due to scenario on Egypt and Tunisia) flight growth, see Figure 24, a downwards revision of 0.7 percentage point compared to the February forecast. Traffic growth rates are expected to be more homogeneous across Western Europe than in 2015.

4.2 Medium-term outlook (up to 2021)

After 2016, traffic growth in Europe stabilises at around 2.2% increase per year in the base scenario. The annual rates in 2016 and 2020 are influenced by the extra growth from the leap year effect9, with a complementary downward effect in 2017 and 2021.

In the 2017-2020 horizon, the annual growth rate will reach 2.4% notably thanks to additional capacity brought by the third airport in Turkey from end 2017, lifting the constraints on the European network. However, the capacity constraints will weigh again in 2021 with a growth rate levelling off at 1.8%. Altogether, adjusting for the effect of the leap year effect from 2020, this represents a 2.1% growth.

Any user of the forecast is strongly advised to use the forecast range (low-growth to high-growth) as an indicator of risk. This forecast includes downside risks (e.g. capacity reductions in response to weaker demand) and upside risks (e.g. current high load factors might not be able to absorb the passenger demand when traffic begins to grow again). These are discussed in Section 6. By 2021, the high-growth scenario has 0.9 million more and low-growth scenario 1 million fewer flights than the base scenario.

As Figure 25 and Figure 26 show, the growth is not uniform across Europe. While the growth (in percentage terms) is much weaker in the more mature markets of Western Europe, it is still the busiest States (France, Germany

Turkey will both see the fastest growth rates (5.5% as average annual growth rate over the 7 years) and the highest number of extra flights per day (1,586 additional flights per day in 2021), being the biggest contributor to the growth in Europe.

Figure 27 shows the corresponding Figure 25 at functional airspace block level (FAB). Danube FAB is expected to have the highest average annual growth rate (4.1%) over the next seven years. FAB CE, Baltic FAB, Blue Med FAB, South West FAB and UK-Ireland FABs are the busiest European FABs with average annual growth rates higher than 2%. All other FABs have AAGR lower than 2% with NEFAB having the lower growth with 1.3%.

As Figure 28 shows, the average annual growth rate for flights departing Europe to outside European regions is likely to be higher than the rate within Europe itself over the next seven years due to the increasing globalisation. Africa, Middle-East and Asia/Pacific (especially China) regions are likely to attract European traffic due to the higher expected GDP growth.

As illustrated in Figure 29, the current forecast (MTF15b) for total Europe is lower than the previous seven-year forecast issued in February 2015 (MTF15). The first year of the forecast shows narrower low-to-high ranges because the uncertainty has now been reduced in the short-term. As of 2016 and until the end of the seven-year period, the uncertainty is now wider especially due to more downside assumptions lowering the low scenario.

5 Service unit growth to 2021

Thanks to a combination of strong flight growth during the summer as well as continuing route changes over Central Europe as a result of the airspace closures since spring 2014, a stronger growth in the service units is expected by the end of the year compared to February 2015 forecast.

In 2015, 137.7 million service units are expected to be produced in EUROCONTROL member States (CRCO14). This is a 0.8 percentage point revision upwards compared to the February 2015 forecast.

For 2016 and the following years, the higher growth rates are expected to fade out and the average annual growth rate of 2.8% for the states participating to the Performance Scheme is in line with the February 2015 forecast publication with a marginal decrease of 0.2 percentage point.

For Terminal Navigation Service Units in the countries participating to the Performance Scheme in the Second Reference Period (RP2), the forecast for 2015 has been revised upwards by 0.3 percentage point and is expected to reach 7.5 million by the end of 2015. Following similar trends as the en-route service units, growth will then slow and the average annual growth between 2014 and 2021 will stand at 2.7% to reach 8.7 million by 2021.

5.1 En-route Service units (TSU)

Following the upward revision in the flight forecast for 2015, en-route service units are expected to end 2015 higher than expected in the forecast of February 2015.

This is mainly for the same reasons as for the flight forecast changes but also by additional overflights and flights added to the states in the CRCO14 since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine crisis and the shift of flights over Ukraine and Moldova more southerly over CRCO14 area. These route changes have also brought to some Eastern European countries changes in distances and weights that have generated a strong disparity between service units and flight growth rates: with TSU growing significantly more than flights as in Austria, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina; or less than flights as in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the shift of flights. That being said, new routes have opened in the Black-Sea area since August that should reduce this shifting and limit the growth expected in the future years in the area.

The route changes in and around Germany described in Section 2.1 as a result of a higher unit rate, have also led to a downwards revision of expected TSU in Germany and contributed to additional growth for the countries around as in Belgium/Luxembourg and the Netherlands than in the February 2015 forecast.

In 2015, 137.7 million service units (TSU) are expected to be produced. This is 4.2% more than in 2014 and a revision up by 0.6 pp compared to the February 2015 forecast. The 2015 flight forecast for Europe (ESRA08) has slightly been revised upwards by 0.1pp from 1.5% (in the previous release) to 1.6%.

Years 3 to 7 of the forecast have been fully updated and take into account new routings, average weight and distance levels resulting from the recent events in Europe such as described in Section 2.

The total en-route service units in the participating EUROCONTROL member states (CRCO14) are expected to grow by 3.8% (±1.8pp) in 2016 compared to 2015 and reach 142.9 million. This is a slight downwards revision compared to the 3.9% growth forecast in February 2015. The service units will end in 2021 0.4 million lower than expected in the February 2015 forecast following marginally slower flight growth rates, reaching in total 165.1 million in 2021 which represents an average growth rate of 3.4%.

For those States participating in the Performance Scheme (RP2 Region), the average annual growth during RP2 (2019 versus a baseline year of 2014) is 2.8% (±1.3 pp), slightly lower than the 3% per year from the February forecast. In RP2 Region, by 2021, the TSU are expected to reach 134.9 million representing a baseline scenario with a total growth of 21% compared to 2014.

Figure 30 compares the evolution of the forecast between the February 2015 forecast and this new forecast release for the CRCO14 grouping. As from 2015 onwards, TSU have been marginally revised downwards by 0.2 percentage point from 2016 to 2021, resulting in overall lower TSU forecast from 2019 onwards. The TSU in 2021 is foreseen to be 0.2 percentage point lower than in the February 2015 forecast. This variation from forecast to forecast is well within the low-to-high-scenario range, including for 2015 despite the revision upwards of its forecast (4.2% new forecast vs. February high scenario of 4.8%).

5.2 Terminal Navigation Service Units (TNSU)

Underlying growth in TNSU is driven by the same factors which influence flight growth (see Section 2.1) with the trend for increasing average weight having an additional effect. This TNSU forecast is based on the 2015-2021 IFR flight forecast (Section 2.1) and uses the CRCO flight database for all States except for Estonia which provided STATFOR with its own data, to capture the necessary information about weight of the aircraft. More details about the TNSU forecast method can be found in Ref.2. The definition of the terminal charging zones (TCZ) is based on the known list of airports per TCZ for RP2 provided by States as available in their RP2 performance plans submitted in June 2015 (see Annex 1 for RP2 region definition and TCZ list). The detailed results per TCZ are given in Annex 8 and Annex 9 .

The expected AAGR for RP2 is 2.7% and by 2021, after the end of the reference period, 8.7 million TNSU are expected for the whole region (Figure 33). With the aim of improving the forecast for RP2, the history for RP1 was reconstructed as detailed in the September 2014 forecast report, including for 2014.

6 Risks to the forecast growth

Users of the forecasts are strongly advised to use the forecast range (low-growth to high-growth) as an indicator of risk. These flight and service unit forecasts are prepared in conditions of large changes in traffic routings. For many individual States, these are the biggest risks for traffic growth.

The main sources of uncertainty in the intermediate forecast are as follows.

In percentage terms for individual States, the biggest risks concern the route choices of airlines, which are generally downside risks for some States and simultaneously upside risks for others, balancing out across Europe as a whole:

By 2021 there is a significant probability that some flights through Ukraine will be restored.

Closure of Libyan airspace has reduced Maltese overflights as well as re-routed traffic to southern Africa. It is not clear when normal patterns will be restored.

Unit rates are one of the many factors that influence an airline’s choice of route. Large changes in rates could lead to low single-figure percentage changes in flight counts.

Currently, the Syrian conflict is having an important impact on overflights across South-East Europe. We have not included an end to this in our scenario nor an intensification, though clearly at some point this network disruption will clear and the overflight changes reverse. Avoidance of Iraq and to a lesser extent Sinai is less significant for the forecast.

Previous years have seen persistent (many months) reduction in en route capacity as a result of the introduction of new ATC systems. This results in tactical and strategic re-routing of traffic, enough to affect annual totals. More changes are on the way, presenting further risks, for example Spain, Norway and Turkey have changes planned.

The jet stream influences route choice too, though this is more usually an effect over days or weeks than over the whole year. 2014 saw an unusual pattern for the jet stream, leading to more southerly routings than in the past. We have not adjusted the data for this, nor modelled a future restoration.

More generally, future network changes (e.g., new routes) and airlines’ changing choice of routes are not modelled by the forecast.

The economic forecasts used here were updated in August 2015. The economic outlook remains uncertain. The low scenario provides some guidance here. Economic risks are to some extent synchronised, so do not balance out across Europe as routing risks do.

Two States, Turkey and Russia, have been the predominant drivers of flight growth in recent years. This makes growth sensitive to the continued expansion of these two economies. Sanctions on Russia, and Russia's response to them, are significant for the downward revision of the forecast

overall. This could improve, but could easily get worse, representing on balance a downside risk.

On the other hand, there are growing competitive pressures for expansion, especially for low-cost carriers, so as aircraft deliveries accelerate we could see more rapid expansion, although in our view this is likely to be localised. The high scenario provides some guidance for this, but only for local, not widespread application.

Load factors remain at or near record highs (Section 2.1). As traffic begins to grow again, this means that load factors might be able to absorb less of the passenger growth than they have in past years. From the present position, the recovery would then come more rapidly than anticipated. This is therefore an upside risk.

We analysed the current airline schedules, but did not find them as a whole credible indicators of Winter traffic, so excluded them from this forecast. In parts, where we could cross-validate against other information, we used partial information. Nevertheless, airlines are likely to adapt their plans as the Winter approaches and progresses. This is on balance an upside downside risk.

Tourism trends are quite variable. The forecast does not identify which will be the new holiday ‘destination of preference’ in a given year. The recent events in both Egypt and Tunisia have led to more variability in tourism destinations. On the whole this is more likely an upside risk.

Oil prices remain changeable investment. With fuel accounting for 25-40%, this can have an effect on fares and cost of travel for customer (see Section 2.1).

Terrorist attacks, wars and natural disasters. Following the February 2014 forecast publication, in which a further volcanic eruption or pandemic were mentioned as some of the risks, both have occurred. The impact on air traffic could be a temporary one, or more significant.

Recent sanctions imposed by Ukraine against Russian airlines (banning them from flying to Ukraine) since September could be a downside risk. Russian Ministry of Transport already confirmed that they will introduce reciprocal measures against Ukrainian airlines from the start of the winter season.

Annex 1 Traffic region definitions

ESRA08

The EUROCONTROL Statistical Reference Area (ESRA) is designed to include as much as possible of the ECAC area for which data are available from a range of sources within the Agency. It is used for high-level reports from the Agency, when referring to 'total Europe'. The ESRA changes only slowly with time; a region is added to the ESRA only when there is a full year's data from all sources, so that growth calculations are possible. ‘ESRA08’ was introduced in the MTF09 report. It is now used as a basis for comparison at European level in the forecasts. Note that the EUROCONTROL forecast includes also regions outside of the ESRA (e.g., Armenia and Latvia), though still within ECAC.

Figure 34. The EUROCONTROL Statistical Reference Area.

ESRA08 consists of 34 traffic zones. Traffic zones are defined by an aggregate of FIRs & UIR of States. These do not take delegation of airspace into account. For individual States, the differences between charging areas and ACCs can have a big impact on overflight counts (and thus on total counts where the total is dominated by overflights). For the ESRA as a whole, there is only a small proportion of overflights, so that the difference between a FIR and an ACC definition is small.

Traffic regions

The traffic regions are defined for statistical convenience and do not reflect an official position of the EUROCONTROL Agency. As far as possible, these regions have been aligned with ICAO statistical and forecast regions.

Traffic flows are described as being to or from one of a number of traffic regions listed in Figure 35. Each traffic region is made up of a number of traffic

As far as “Europe” is concerned, it is split into two regions: ESRA (defined in the previous section) and Other Europe. For flow purposes, ESRA is split into a “North-West” region mostly of mature air traffic markets, a “Mediterranean” region stretching from the Canaries to Turkey and with a significant tourist element, and an Eastern region. The ‘Other Europe’ region (i.e. non ESRA) includes the States along the border of ESRA and extends from Greenland to the Urals and Azerbaijan.

The map of the nine traffic regions used in our statistics is shown in Figure 36.

CRCO11

"CRCO11" refers to the EUROCONTROL Member States participating in the Multilateral Route Charges System in 2012. This list comprises: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Belgium/Luxembourg, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, FYROM, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lisbon FIR, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Santa Maria FIR, Serbia&Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK.

Functional Airspace Blocks

On top of the traffic zones, this report also presents the forecast of IFR movements from 2014 to 2020 for the Functional Airspace Blocks (FAB). A FAB is a block of airspace based on operational requirements regardless of the State boundaries (Figure 37). FAB initiatives (definitions) are now frozen according to the targets defined to improve the performance of the European air traffic management network. STATFOR defines the FABs based on the FIR10 boundaries. The definition of FAB-FIR is:

UK-Ireland FAB (SCOTTISH FIR&UIR, LONDON FIR&UIR, SHANNON FIR&UIR)

Danish-Swedish FAB (COPENHAGEN FIR, SWEDEN FIR)

Baltic FAB (WARSZAWA FIR, VILNIUS FIR&UIR)

BLUE MED FAB (NICOSIA FIR&UIR, ATHINAI FIR&UIR, BRINDISI FIR&UIR, MILANO FIR&UIR, ROMA FIR&UIR, MALTA FIR&UIR)

Danube FAB (SOFIA FIR, BUCAREST FIR)

FAB CE (ZAGREB FIR, BUDAPEST FIR, LJUBLJANA FIR, PRAHA FIR, WIEN FIR, SARAJEVO FIR&UIR, BRATISLAVA FIR)

FABEC (BRUSSELS FIR&UIR, LANGEN FIR, MUNCHEN FIR, RHEIN UIR, HANNOVER UIR, BREMEN FIR, AMSTERDAM FIR, BORDEAUX FIR, REIMS FIR, PARIS FIR, FRANCE UIR, MARSEILLE FIR, BREST FIR, SWITZERLAND FIR, SWITZERLAND UIR)

North European FAB (TALLINN FIR, FINLAND FIR&UIR, ENOR FIR, RIGA FIR, BODO OCEANIC FIR)

South West FAB (CANARIAS FIR&UIR, LISBOA FIR, MADRID FIR&UIR, BARCELONA FIR&UIR).

The change compared to the previous definition used in the past forecast reports (August 2012-December 2013) consisted in removing the TIRANA FIR from BLUE MED FAB as well as the removal of SOTA and NOTA from UK-Ireland FAB. This new definition is in line with the FAB-FIR definition of the Performance Review Unit (PRU) of EUROCONTROL.

10 Note that the PRU uses the FAB-ANSP definition.

RPRegions

RP1Region and RP2Region are the two regions involved in the Performance Scheme respectively related to First Reference Period (2012-2014) and Second Review Period (2015-2019).

RP1Region: stands for the sum over all the 29 states that are involved in the EU-wide performance target setting for the first period, namely: 28 EU member states plus Norway plus Switzerland minus Croatia.

RP2Region: stands for the sum over all the 30 states that are involved in the EU-wide performance target setting for the second period, namely: 28 EU member states plus Norway plus Switzerland.

The “SES” and “PScheme” regions presented in previous reports (Traffic Tables of the Annexes) are not reported anymore, as they could introduce some confusion with respect to the RPRegions above mentioned.

Terminal Charging Zones

A “terminal charging zone” is an airport or a group of airports for which a cost-based unit rate is established. The forecast of terminal navigation service units

from 2015 shown in Annex 8 and Annex 9 have been produced based per TCZ based on the definition submitted by the Stakeholders in their RP2 performance plans as available in June 2015.

The list of aerodromes forming the TCZs during RP2 for the 30 States participating in the SES performance scheme (RP2) can be found in Figure 38. Compared to the February publication, a few changes were implemented in the TCZ:

Bulgaria has taken 4 airports out of its TCZ to keep Sofia airport LBSF only;

Croatia has added one airport: Zagreb/Lucko LDZL;

Poland has added one airport: Olsztyn Mazury EPSY.

We understand that changes may be being considered by States, but they were not available at the time of the forecast production.

Annex 8 Terminal Navigation service units forecast per state

This appendix presents the forecast of the terminal navigation service units based on the terminal charging zones definition for RP2 and the use of a 0.7 exponent in the terminal service unit definition (to be used as of 2015). The definition of the charging zones is in line with their latest definitions available as agreed in their performance plans for RP2 (Summer 2015).

As in the February forecast, the historical values up to 2014 have been reconstructed based on CRCO flight information with the TCZ definitions and the exponent used to compute the TNSU as applicable by states according to their RP1 performance plans up to 2013 and to the definition of RP2 used in the February forecast for 2014 (see details in Appendix H of Ref. 1).

Annex 9 Terminal Navigation service units growth forecast per state

This appendix presents the same data as the previous, but presented as growth rather than counts of terminal navigation service units. The low growth observed for Bulgaria in 2015 can be attributed to the suppression of 4 airports in 2015 compared to what was considered in 2014. The rest of the TCZ changes does not have a significant impact.
