Compensation schemes due to ATC delays
CARE Innovative ATM Research Workshop EUROCONTROL Brussels
14th & 15th March 2001
2Lorenzo Castelli
Basic idea
• Proposal of new en-route charges definition schemes;
• ATC unit is represented as a service provider;
• It has to attain some given levels of service;
• The airline perspectives are considered.
3Lorenzo Castelli
Airlines
• Airlines may be interested in defining new ways to interact with the ATC centers.
• Punctuality is a major concern.
• Only a small percentage of the delays caused by an ATC center are eliminated by:– “Ready” calling– Re-routing
4Lorenzo Castelli
ATC center
• It may be considered as a service provider;
• When congestion occurs, a slot is allocated to their customers, i.e., to airlines;
• The quality of the service provided could be measured as a function of the possible delays imposed.
5Lorenzo Castelli
Airlines vs ATC
• New possible formal agreements between ATC centers (or ATC national authorities) and each single airline may be envisaged;
• The airline pays the ATC unit for the services received, but compensation schemes may be also considered.

7Lorenzo Castelli
Cost of the delay
• Flight characteristics – peak or peak-off hour, – point-to-point or connection flight– long-haul, short-haul flight
• The size of the airline
• International, national or regional carrier
• The number and type of boarded passengers
8Lorenzo Castelli
Benefits
• Competition among ATC centers arises;
• An inefficient ATC center would produce losses instead of revenues;
• Reduction of airline complaints;
• Increase of airline (technical) efficiency, i.e., better knowledge of internal process is required.
9Lorenzo Castelli
Open issues
• The structure of the competion: the degree of market regulation.
• The determination of the cost of delay per unit of time is not often formally computed by the airlines: only rough estimates are available.
• Equity and fairness issues arise.
10Lorenzo Castelli
How to proceed
• Development of a (mathematical programming or simulation) model able to compare different scenarios taking into account airline characteristics;
• A possible outcome of the research activity could be the creation of suitable pricing schemes automatically generated.
