Annual 2012
FOREWORD
This report gives an overview of the delay situation in the European Civil Aviation Conference Area. This report has been prepared by
the Central Office for Delay Analysis (CODA), a service of EUROCONTROL. It is based on the EUROCONTROL CODA database
which contains delay data provided directly by airlines.
The report consists of an overview of the reporting period, a summary of the main delay effects, and a series of charts and graphics,
which illustrate the main characteristics of the reporting period. A glossary of terms and abbreviations used throughout the report is
given in Annex E.
Airline data from the CODA database contains real recorded delays provided to CODA by airlines and is based on the difference
between scheduled time of departure and actual off block time.
This report discusses delays from all-causes; for information regarding ATFCM delays see the complementary reports available at

2012 Overview.
January 2012:
January saw an overall improvement in delays in comparison to the same month last year, with
average delays from all-causes at their lowest levels for 5 years. Airport delays saw increases
following significant disruption in Istanbul as a result of snow. Poor weather conditions were also
experienced in Amsterdam and London. ATFCM delays fell during the month with its contribution
to the average delay per flight falling from 1.3 minutes to 0.9 minutes, with en-route delays falling
notably.
February 2012:
February saw a overall deterioration in delays from all-causes in comparison to the record lows
observed in same month last year. Frankfurt airport suffered from industrial action by ramp
personnel between the 16th and 29th February, there was also one day of action in France on
the 29th Feb. Amsterdam and Istanbul were affected by delays due to weather conditions.
Heathrow, Munich and Manchester also experienced delays. In regard ATFCM delays, these
remained at a similar level to those seen in February 2011.
March 2012:
March saw delays for all-causes remain at a stable level compared to that of March 2011.
Weather was the main reason of delay during the month with delays from low visibility and high
winds, particularly at the start of the month were experienced in Heathrow, Brussels, Paris
airports and Munich. In regard ATFCM delays, these remained at a similar level to those seen in
March 2011 with its contribution to the average delay per flight falling from 1 minute to 0.9
minutes per flight.
April 2012:
April saw a notable increase in all-causes of delay compared to April 2011. Airport related delays
were seen particularly at Istanbul Ataturk as a result of cross wind, heavy rain and increase in
traffic. ATFCM en-route delay also saw an increase in contribution following French ATC
industrial action (from 2nd to 4th April) as well as Portugal although disruption was more
localised. Heathrow and Paris airports suffered from weather delays, predominantly from high
winds and thunderstorms.
May 2012:
Saw the start in the trend of lower delays. Airport related delays were seen particularly at Istanbul
Ataturk caused by cross wind, heavy rain and increase in traffic. ATFM en-route delays
decreased despite industrial actions in Portugal on 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th May with
Lisbon seeing an increase in delays on these days. Weather conditions such as thunderstorms,
heavy rain and low visibility affected operations in Heathrow, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Brussels,
Amsterdam, Zurich and Paris airports.
June 2012:
EURO 2012 took place in Poland and Ukraine (8th June – 1st July). Despite an increased traffic at
airports in these countries delays remained at a stable level in Poland with Ukraine seeing a
small increase to its average delay per flight. Thunderstorms, heavy rain and low visibility
affected operations in Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam, Zurich and Vienna
particularly on the 21st and 29th June. Istanbul Ataturk experienced delays due to airport
capacity.

July 2012:
Adverse weather conditions, particularly thunderstorms, impacted operations in Munich, Frankfurt
and London Heathrow. The London Olympics 2012 started on the 27th July and ran through to
12th August, delays remained low during the games. With 40 UK airports being coordinated
during the Olympic period the main airports receiving additional traffic were London Luton
(EGGW), London Stansted (EGSS), London City (EGLC), Biggin Hill (EGKB) and Farnborough
(EGLF). On the 26/27th of July, 72 heads of state arrived, 31 in their own aircraft and the
remainder on scheduled flights. NM provided support to UK NATS and adjacent ACC’s. Further
weather delays particularly thunderstorms were observed, impacting operations in Munich,
Frankfurt and London Heathrow.
August 2012:
Airport delays saw small increases following delays in Brussels as a result of runway works, an
airline strike on the 31st August affected Frankfurt with the airport seeing delays to parking stand
unavailability. Amsterdam Schiphol experienced delays due to a historical bomb disposal on the
29th. Weather conditions, particularly low visibility, thunderstorms and winds impacted operations
at Brussels, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Palma airports.
September 2012:
Lufthansa cabin crew strikes on the 4th and 7th of September impacted Frankfurt airport with an
estimated 1,000 cancelled flights. Lisbon experienced delays from ATC and capacity delays.
London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Palma de Mallorca, Manchester and Amsterdam airports saw
delays from weather, predominantly high winds, rain showers and thunderstorm activity.
October 2012:
Industrial action in France from the 22nd to 24th October, saw average delays for all-causes
increase on these days. There was also a strike in Greece on the 18th of the month, however
delays were low. Lisbon experienced delays due to ATC staffing and resultant capacity delays.
London Heathrow was affected by low visibility and winds particularly on the 22nd, 23rd and 26th
of the month. Similar conditions were reported in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Paris
and Oslo. Zurich and Istanbul Ataturk experienced delays from runway configurations caused by
environmental constraints and wind respectively.
November 2012:
November saw a record 5 year low for all-causes of delay with an average delay per delayed
flight of 26 minutes being observed for the month. Reactionary delays also decreased to a lower
level than last year with a 42% share of delay minutes alongside a fall in traffic of 3.7%.
On the 14th November, Europe saw a day of action in with flights in Spain, Portugal and France,
these countries experienced disruption in the form of cancellations, these estimated at 1500
flights rather than long delays. The 15th November saw a strike in Marseille with delays being
observed there were also an estimated 250 flight cancellations. London Heathrow experienced
weather delays from strong winds and low visibility during the month, notably on the 15th
November. Amsterdam Schiphol and Oslo also suffered from fog and snowfall.

December 2012:
Delays increased in December with delays from all-causes shows an average delay per delayed
flight (ADD) of 32 minutes, an 11% increase in comparison to the low level observed in
December 2011. However delays remained below the record highs of 2009 and 2010, there was
also a fall in traffic of 5.6%. December was a month more strongly affected by weather delays,
‘other weather’ delays increased from 0.7 minutes to 1.4 minutes per flight during the month
(Figure 3). On the 7th of December airport weather delays were observed particularly at
Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Geneva, there was also industrial action at Brest ACC. On
the 9th of December weather delays were at observed Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin-Tegel and
Copenhagen airports mainly from snow and related low visibility, strong winds were also noted at
Amsterdam and London Heathrow airports.

Analysis of the delay causes contributing to the 2012 average delay per flight of 10 minutes
(Figure 3) shows a slight decrease in the contribution of reactionary delay, down from 4.5 to 4.3
minutes per flight. Airline related delays remained at the same level of 2.8 minutes per flight.
Airline reported ATFM en-route related delays decreased by 39% to 0.4 minutes per flight in
comparison to 0.7 minutes per flight in 2011.
Note: IATA Delay Code 19 (Passengers with Reduced Mobility) is included in airline grouping

Figure 8. Long departure delays >120 minutes (2011 vs. 2012)
Flights delayed by more than 120 minutes (2 hours) saw an improvement in comparison to 2011,
slight increases in delay were noted during the summer months however these remained below 1%.
The only exception was December 2012 were delays increased following weather disruption.
Figure 9. Primary and reactionary all-cause delay, by IATA code (%)
Figure 9 shows that: Reactionary delay saw a decrease in its contribution to the average delay
per flight of 0.3 minutes down to 4.3 minutes per flight, however the delay share of the total delay
minutes slightly increased when compared to 2011. ATFM En-Route Demand/Capacity delay
contribution decreased when compared to 2011 by 0.2 minutes per flight and 2 percentage
points. Weather saw slight increases following a year that saw more weather delays than
previously.

Figure 11. Main delay causes at the top 10 affected departure airports
Lisbon Airport noted the highest departure delay with an average delay per flight of 16 minutes,
this was a 19% increase with flights being affected by en-route ATC staffing delays and industrial
action. Manchester saw delays from arrival weather restrictions (strong winds and low visibility)
causing reactionary delays especially affecting flights to Heathrow. Istanbul Ataturk saw an 81%
increase in delay, following capacity and weather delays from non optimum runway configuration
as a result of wind direction, an increase in arrival delay was also seen. In comparison to last
summer, Madrid Barajas saw delays fall by 30% to 11 minutes per flight (see Figure 15).

The Top 20 Most-Affected Airport Pairs shows that flights from and to Lisbon Airport suffered
from en-route ATC staffing delays and industrial action notably in May. Flights arriving at
Heathrow also experienced delays mainly from weather, mainly high winds and low visibility
affecting arrival traffic. Gatwick experienced weather and airport capacity delays during the from
runway works with delays increasing during the summer season (Figure 16 )

The average delay per flight on arrival from all causes remained at 10 minutes per flight. Figure
13.
Regarding arrival punctuality, 26% of flights arrived on time (less than 5 minutes before or after
the scheduled arrival time). The percentage of flights arriving >15 minutes ahead of schedule was
10%, this was an increase when compared to 2011 and highlights the trend of earlier arrivals that
was noted during the year.

Figure 16. Main delay causes at the top 10 affected arrival airports
When analysing the Top 20 affected arrival airports; the effect of weather in 2012 on arrivals can
be seen in the above graph. Istanbul Ataturk ranked first for arrival delays with an average delay
per flight of 17 minutes. Manchester was affected by weather delays on arrival. A high share of
reactionary delay was observed at Lisbon, following ATC staffing delays that affected flights
earlier in the day resulting in a 17 minute average delay per flight. Madrid Barajas saw a 32%
reduction in delays. London Heathrow saw a large share of weather related delay on arrival.

CODA Scheduling Indicators
Scheduling correctly is a difficult art: if too long a time is blocked for a flight, the airline will not be able
to make best use of resources - staff, airframes, infrastructure. But too short a time can arguably be
worse as late flights generate rotational delay with late incoming aircraft and passengers from previous
flights having to be accommodated. When flights leave on time but arrive after the scheduled time of
arrival, they cause reactionary delays.
The first of the new CODA Scheduling indicators is the Block Time Overshoot (BTO). This
indicator describes the percentage of flights with an actual block time that exceeds the scheduled
block time.
In the 2012 the BTO remained stable at 30%, then fell slightly in comparison to the 31% during
the previous year. This indicates that less flights had an actual block time exceeding the
scheduled block time. The summer months saw a particularly low BTO’s.

CODA
Annual 2012
The second of the new indicators is the Delay Difference Indicator - Flight (DDI-F). This shows
the difference between arrival and departure punctuality expressed in minutes. This can be
indicated as a positive or negative figure, for example a flight departing with 20 minutes delay and
arriving with 30 minutes arrival delay will have a DDI-F of +10 minutes.
In 2012 the DDI-F on European flights was -3.2 minutes which was on slightly lower when
compared to the -3.0 minutes in 2011. The DDI-F on European flights in 2012 was less than -4
minutes per flight in July and August.
