Delays arise from a large number of different causes.
The purpose of the Central Office for Delay Analysis (CODA) within EUROCONTROL is to provide policy makers and managers of the ECAC Air Transport System with timely, consistent and comprehensive information on the air traffic delay situation in Europe, and to make these available to anyone with an interest in delay performance.
The CODA produces regular and ad-hoc Air Transport delay reports, which are available on the eCODA website. Certain reports are also available in hard copy.

|
In order to achieve this purpose in the most timely and comprehensive manner, an enhanced CODA product (eCODA) has been developed. eCODA aims to provide information on all delay causes, one week after of the end of each calendar month. This is facilitated by the excellent co-operation of aircraft operators who supply eCODA with the necessary data; together with Air Traffic Flow Management data from the EUROCONTROL Central Flow Management Unit, they enable the reports to be produced.
The eCODA system has technical facilities for data providers and other specialist users. These facilities are not available for public access due to the proprietary information contained therein, and are therefore password protected. Password owners may use the sign-in facility on the eCODA home page.

Air Traffic Statistics and Forecasts |
Statistics and forecasts are essential to the EUROCONTROL Agency; they allow it to monitor the current state of air traffic management and to anticipate and plan future development needs. The Agency currently publishes statistics on capacity and delay and statistics and forecasts on traffic (described here).
The Agency's main, public air traffic statistics and forecast products cover more than 40 European States and regions. They are:
- monthly statistics, e.g. daily counts of domestic flights in Denmark;
- an annual forecast that looks 8 years ahead and, in less detail, 20 years ahead, e.g. giving the expected number of overflights of Poland in 2008.

Statistics are analysed to support forecasting and market analysis. Some of these analyses are published, e.g. on the growth of "low-cost" carriers.
EUROCONTROL's central role in flow management and in collecting air navigation charges on behalf of States give the Agency privileged access to flight-by-flight traffic statistics. When combined with data provided directly by States, these sources give EUROCONTROL data on traffic across much of Europe. Other national and international organisations collect air traffic statistics, especially on movements at airports; EUROCONTROL complements these views with its gate-to-gate, air traffic management perspective, that is, putting the data on departures and arrivals together with their routing in between.
The flights covered by these statistics and forecasts are usually those which took place under 'Instrument Flight Rules', because these are the flights which use an air traffic control service. Typically, these include all commercial scheduled and charter flights, business jets and taxi flights, and some state or military flights. They usually do not include light aircraft used for training, leisure flying, surveying and other purposes.
If you need further explanation of the traffic statistics and forecasts that are discussed here, then contact the Agency's Statistics and Forecasts Service, STATFOR. The information in the published statistics and forecasts may be reproduced, with appropriate acknowledgement, free of charge, but the use you put it to is under your own responsibility. STATFOR has very limited resources, so in general can not provide more than is published here. The exception is cases, such as for European Commission research contracts, where the work is clearly in the general interests of the air traffic community.
