EUROCONTROL voluntary ATM incident reporting (EVAIR) safety bulletin 26

2020-2024

Bulletin #26 brings together the analysis of occurrences voluntarily shared with EVAIR by aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, and airports across the European network and beyond. Covering the 2020–2024 period, it reflects not only aggregated trends and statistics, but also the operational reality behind them. 

This edition marks the first publication under new EVAIR management since Q3 2024 and introduces a stronger emphasis on qualitative insight. Beyond the numbers, Bulletin #26 uses storytelling to translate reported ATM related occurrences into meaningful lessons learned bringing operational experiences closer to the reader.

Through real cases, the bulletin highlights:

  • How cooperation with airlines can generate tangible safety improvements.
  • How EVAIR reporting has contributed to procedural and changes by ANSPs.
  • The operational implications of a lightning strike during weather avoidance.
  • Decision-making challenges when fuel policy is under pressure.
  • The wider impact of network disruption on operations.

By combining structured data with operational narratives, this bulletin underscores EVAIR’s evolving role not just as a platform for sharing operational issues, but as a dynamic catalyst for rapidly identifying solutions and fostering practical, experience driven learning throughout the network.
