The indicative Union-wide performance target ranges for the fourth reference period (‘RP4’), consisting of the annual minimum and maximum values within which the Commission intends to set those Union-wide performance targets, are set out in the Annex.
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
ANNEX Indicative ranges for the Union-wide performance targets for the fourth reference period (‘RP4’) KEY PERFORMANCE AREA OF SAFETY Effectiveness of safety management, ranging from EASA level A to D Level of effectiveness of safety management to be achieved by air navigation service providers , broken down per safety management objective Lower bound for Union-wide targets (to be achieved by 2029) Upper bound for Union-wide targets (to be achieved by 2029) Safety policy and objectives C C Safety risk management D D Safety assurance C C Safety promotion C C Safety culture C C KEY PERFORMANCE AREA OF ENVIRONMENT Average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory Average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory , expressed as a percentage 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 Upper bound for Union-wide targets 2,71 % 2,70 % 2,69 % 2,67 % 2,66 % Lower bound for Union-wide targets 2,49 % 2,46 % 2,44 % 2,42 % 2,39 % KEY PERFORMANCE AREA OF CAPACITY Average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay in minutes per flight Average en route ATFM delay , expressed in minutes per flight 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 Upper bound for Union-wide targets 0,50 0,50 0,50 0,40 0,40 Lower bound for Union-wide targets 0,41 0,38 0,35 0,33 0,31 KEY PERFORMANCE AREA OF COST-EFFICIENCY Year-on-year change of the average Union-wide en route determined unit cost (‘DUC’) for en route air navigation services Year-on-year change of the average en route Union-wide DUC , expressed as a percentage 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 Upper bound for Union-wide targets –0,7 % –0,7 % –0,7 % –0,7 % –0,7 % Lower bound for Union-wide targets –3,1 % –3,1 % –3,1 % –3,1 % –3,1 % Baseline value for the average en route Union-wide DUC for RP4 , expressed in real terms in EUR 2022 2024 Estimated baseline value for the RP4 Union-wide cost-efficiency performance target ranges 55,61 EUR
