Key reasons
Potential causes having an impact on flight planning/ airline choices:
- Weather
- Industrial action
- Closed areas in adjacent airspace(s)
- Regulations applied due to capacity problems in the network
Note: The data of AIRAC 2103 report are significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis. Traffic continues to progress between 40%~50% of last year’s levels, still around 50% - 60% fewer flights in the NM area compared to 2019. Therefore, the statistics/ results might not be as reliable and accurate as usual.
