This document discusses four topics related to developing a sustainable framework for European aviation from a northern European perspective: 1) inclusion of aviation in the EU Emissions Trading System, 2) progress on the Single European Sky ATM Research program in northern Europe, 3) the role of business aviation in the European economy, and 4) financial performance of European airlines in 2012. It provides details on emission reporting requirements, estimated costs to airlines of the EU ETS, goals and implementation of the Single European Sky program, importance of business aviation connections, and passenger traffic and losses for European airlines.

1. Developing a sustainable framework
for European aviation:
North European Perspective

2. In this presentation:
1- Inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS
2- Single European Sky ATM Research in Northern Europe
3- The Role of Business Aviation in the European Economy
4- Financial Performance of Association of European Airlines

3. Inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS
Since the start of 2012, emissions from international aviation were
included in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
Monitoring and reporting their emissions index on an annual basis
Based on Total volume enroute traffic generated and fuel burn
THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES: JOINT RUSSIA-CHINA STATEMENT
“The Secretary of Transportation shall “We oppose any unilateral and
prohibit an operator of a civil aircraft of coercive decisions that were
the United States from participating in made without any agreements
any emissions trading scheme among the countries concerned.”
unilaterally established by the EU”
Estimated total cost of EU ETS for airlines (2012-2020): €17.7 billions

5. Single European Sky ATM Research
• The inefficiencies in the current fragmented system are
estimated to cost the airspace users €5 billion annually.
“By 2050, passengers and freight should enjoy efficient and seamless travel services,
based on a resilient air transport system thoroughly integrated with other
transport modes and well connected to the rest of the world.”
Siim Kallas, Vice-President of the EC and Commissioner for Transport

6. • 27,000 controlled flights daily
• 1.4 billion passengers pass through annualy
• > than 440 airports

7. North European
Air Navigation Service Providers
(Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Sweden)
Implementation schedule:
Start date: October 2009
End date: December 2012
The key targets are:
• increase the cost-efficiency of Air Navigation Service (ANS) operations by 30% by 2020
• increasing the quality of service to the airspace users
• decrease safety-critical ATM-induced incidents per year
• increase capacity in the region to support predicted traffic growth
• reduce amount of emissions related to ATM inefficiencies to 1% by 2020

8. UK-Ireland FAB Development
The Action will take account of SESAR
Joint Undertaking developments to
ensure consistency with European
ATM technology developments.
Implementing bodies:
National Air Traffic Services (NATS)
Irish Aviation Authority (IAA)
Implementation schedule: Start date: December 2010 End date: December 2012

9. ATM network integration
and performance enhancement
2011-EU-93129-P
The Proposed Action includes 2 main activities:
• to support and accelerate the implementation of Airport Collaborative
Decision Making (A-CDM) processes at European airports.
• to accelerate the implementation of network level collaborative Airspace
Management (ASM)
Implementation schedule: Start date: April 2012 End date: December 2014
Member States involved:
The Netherlands,
United Kingdom, Spain,
France, Italy, Sweden,
Austria, Romania, Greece,
Czech Republic, Belgium

10. Oxford Economics -
The Role of Business Aviation
in the European Economy

11. Business aviation is a crucial part
of the European transport network

12. Business Aviation Traffic per State in January 2013
Average Daily Flights

13. Business Aviation
Europes busiest 500 business aviation routes, 2011
Moscow
London
Rome
In 2011, business aviation connected 88,800 European city pairs

15. AEA – Association of European Airlines:
A total of 370 million passengers were transported, of which 278 million
travelled on European services and 92 million outbound
Compared to 2011, an additional 8.7 million
passengers chose AEA member airlines
The passenger load factor improved by 1.7% to 79.1%
Despite a reasonable passenger traffic growth of around 3%,
AEA recorded consolidated operating loss for 2012 of €1.3 billion.
Accumulated loss of €4.1 billionn since the 2008/09 crisis
