Delay factors
Given the traffic levels, particularly in the second of half of March, there were few network events requiring flow management protective measures. The two significant events were:
- French ATC industrial action until 09 March generated high ATFM delay;
- Spanish authorities introduced a staff reduction programme to manage the effect of COVID-19 that resulted in ATFM protective measures.
