AOP01.2 — Implement airside capacity enhancement method and best practices based on Eurocontrol capacity and efficiency implementation manual

Implement a collaborative capacity enhancement method that releases possible airside capacity improvement areas, to enable the implementation of suitable European best practices to unlock latent airside capacity.

(1). This objective cancels and replaces the previous AOP01 on the basis of new developments in this area.

Note: (2). The actions described in this objective are due to be renewed annually after the first implementation, planned for deployment at listed airports on 12/2007.

Expected Performance Benefits

Safety
Safer operations following harmonised and more predictable aircraft operations on the movement area.
Capacity
Increase in overall airside capacity due to higher efficiency of aircraft operations.
Operational efficiency
-
Cost efficiency
Savings on costs through more efficient surface operations.
Environment
Direct benefit from less taxi and ground and airborne holding time for individual aircraft, thus reducing noise and emissions. Better use of existing infrastructure minimising the need for additional development.
