New record punctuality for skyguide

zwei

Skyguide managed and monitored 1.15 million flights in 2009, some 7.2% fewer than the 1.24 million of the previous year. The decline in traffic volumes and the actions taken to increase its system capacity enabled skyguide to achieve new record punctuality levels: 95% of all flights in 2009 were handled without delays.

Key performance figures for 2009

Tangible traffic decline
2009 saw a substantial decline in air traffic volumes, as a result of the global financial and economic crisis. With an average of some 3 143 controlled flights a day and a daily peak for the year of 3 792 flights (on 10 July), skyguide’s traffic levels for 2009 were well below the 3 380 average and 4 153 peak (on 27 June) of the previous year. There is currently no prospect of any volume recovery: traffic levels at the end of 2009 were also below their prior-year equivalents.

Punctuality at a new record high

Skyguide handled 95% of its daily traffic volume on time in 2009 – some 30% fewer delayed flights than the previous year which in itself had seen a very good performance.
