ESSIP Plan Edition 2012
Safety : Capacity planning can be organised to prevent traffic overload and contributes therefore to safety of operations.
Capacity : Provision of a plan in time to adapt local capacity to demand.
Cost-effectiveness : Optimisation of remedial actions to local capacity constraints in function of costs. Compared to possible shortfalls in
capacity and thus generating huge costly delays this capacity planning method itself is cost efficient.
Environment : Allows remedial actions to be considered in relation to environmental aspects. Efficient capacity planning contributes to
environmental benefits.
Security : N/A

Finalisation criteria : Proven record that ANSP contribute to the annual round-table exercise to determine capacity requirements and identify constraints and remedial actions.
AOP08-APO01 Conduct annual baseline capacity assessment with a view to update the 5-year
rolling capacity planning period Start:01/2006 Finish:12/2015
Action by : Airport Operators
Description & purpose : Assess airside capacity for capacity planning purposes, at least once a year to determine baseline capacity potential. This should be done in accordance with the assessment method described in AOP01.2. With a view to reduce costs either one of the two capacity assessments undertaken in the context of EC regulation 793/04 may be used.

Finalisation criteria : - Annual baseline capacity assessment completed in accordance with method described in AOP01.2. - Capacity constraints are identified and remedial actions agreed upon with airport partners.
- Contribution of the airport partners recorded.
AOP08-APO02 Conduct annual assessment of future capacity requirements Start:01/2006 Finish:12/2015
Action by : Airport Operators
Description & purpose : Determine on a rolling 5 year basis what demand and consequently what capacity is required to cater for the identified demand.

Implement Optimised Dependent Parallel OperationsREG ASP MIL APO USE INT IND
ESSIP Plan Edition 2012
Description & purpose
The purpose of this operational change is to increase utilisation of the parallel runway operations. It aims at reducing dependencies between the runways by implementing more accurate surveillance techniques and controller tools as well as associated procedures. Capacity gains can be achieved by increased utilisation of the combined runways. Dependencies between multiple runways determine the practical runway capacity which in most cases is lower than the combined single runway capacities.
Applicable area(s) Operational capability dates FOR THIS OBJECTIVE
