Single European Sky Conference, Limassol Lufthansa German Airlines October 11, 2012 Page 14 ATM inefficiency in Europe primarily affects European carriers Benchmarking of the European ATM performance. US versus Europe: Significant room for improvement in Europe Source: EUROCONTROL & FAA Study March 2012, figures 2010 Airspace (millions of km2) Flights (IFR, in millions) Air Navigation Service Providers (en route) 138 Area control centers 2063 Air traffic controllers Flights per controller Share of departure delays > 15 min. due to en route constraints 0.1%5.7% Lack of efficiency of the European ATM system

Single European Sky Conference, Limassol Lufthansa German Airlines October 11, 2012 Page 15 ATM performance has major impact on the airline cost structure. Example Lufthansa Share of external costs - European traffic Impact estimation. Source costs:: Externally driven total costs Lufthansa Passage Kont traffic, Sep 2011 – Aug About 50% of total costs externally driven, about 50 % internally driven (staff, aircraft finance, maintenance, catering, sales & distribution etc). 40 % ATC charges Airport charges other 12 % Fuel 43 % Airport throughput Departure delays Free Routing Civil / Military cooperation Flexible use of airspace Arrival / Departure Management Optimised use of infrastructure 5% Significant influence in case of SES implementation

Single European Sky Conference, Limassol Lufthansa German Airlines October 11, 2012 Page 16 FABs will by no means optimise airspace, technical and human resources by end Member States must reinvent FAB governance. EU Commission must take the necessary action and enforce compliance with legal FAB requirements. Mandate assigned to EUROCONTROL. Significant contributions of Network Manager to SES target achievements expected. Efficiency impact to be proven. Significant differences between the individual efforts made by Member States in RP1 - poor performance in RP1 to be considered for RP2. ATC charges in Europe remain very high despite Performance Scheme. Ambitious targets for RP2 required. High level goals of SES must be maintained by all means. Few quick wins so far – encouraging singular projects but massive delay. SJU dominated by manufacturers and ANSPs. Governance and funding for SESAR Deployment not clarified yet. Are we on the right track? Interim assessment of performance achievements from airline perspective Performance Scheme Network Manager Functional Airspace Blocks (FABs)

Single European Sky Conference, Limassol Lufthansa German Airlines October 11, 2012 Page 17 SES has not delivered yet SES is most important for improving competitiveness of European carriers and economy. Airlines cannot transmit benefit of SES to European consumers and environment so far. European airlines are willing to contribute to the success of SES.

Single European Sky Conference, Limassol Lufthansa German Airlines October 11, 2012 Page 18 SES II+ regulatory framework Single European Sky: the time for action Conference We need: Streamline and consolidate ATM operations Europe wide. More competition and liberalisation of the market. 1 Rethinking SES governance. Strong political guidance and more top-down approach. 2 Enforceable goals for the Performance Scheme (RP1 + RP2) and FABs, Network Manager, SESAR Deployment. Appropriate sanction mechanism. Greater influence for the airspace users. 4 5 Accelarate SESAR Deployment. Timely synchronised deployment air and ground. 3
