A fundamental aspect of the SES initiative is functional airspace blocks (FABs), which have the goal of reducing the inefficiencies—in terms of safety, capacity, and cost—that result from the fragmentation of European airspace. FABs are seen as an explicit bottom-up first step toward the ultimate integration of European airspace. In this article, we focus on the analysis of the evolution of the cost-effectiveness in the provision of ATM/CNS services at FABs. We proceed in two stages. First, we develop a theoretical framework that allows us to decompose the change in cost-effectiveness of FABs into its basic sources. Second, we use stochastic frontier analysis techniques to estimate the cost equations and decompose the change in the cost-effectiveness of the nine European FABs into several components. Our analysis sheds light on (1) the drivers of changes in the air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and FABs cost-effectiveness from 2006 to 2016, (2) the role that FABs play in enhancing cooperation between ANSPs to obtain operational efficiency gains, and (3) the existence of economies of scale in the European ATM/CNS service provision.","PeriodicalId":38329,"journal":{"name":"Competition and Regulation in Network Industries","volume":"20 1","pages":"305 - 318"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1783591719870096","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45433174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The context of this special issue is the question of how current nationally organized air traffic management (ATM) will cope with air traffic growth. While this is a problem in the airspace of many countries worldwide—notably in countries with rapid growth, such as the United States, China, and India—it is in Europe where the problem appears to be most acute. This is due to a combination of two trends. On one hand, air traffic in Europe is growing particularly rapidly, with a 34% increase in air passenger numbers over the past 5 years. On the other hand, the European airspace is especially fragmented, given that airspace is nationally managed by socalled air navigation service providers (ANSPs), most of which are optimizing their own airspace by segmenting it. In response, in 1999, the European Commission (EC) launched the so-called Single European Sky (SES) initiative, aimed at reducing delays, increasing safety, mitigating the environmental impact, and reducing costs related to service provision in the aviation sector. The EC has sought to achieve this by promoting the defragmentation of the European airspace and by creating a more efficient ATM system. Although the policy is evolving and new features such as functional airspace blocks (FABs) and a technological pillar, SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research), have been added to the original concept, the SES has failed to deliver the expected progress. As a result, the European airspace remains fragmented and capacity problems increase parallel to rapidly growing air traffic. This special issue of CRNI addresses selected aspects of the fragmented European airspace, as well as means and ways to defragment it from an academic perspective:","PeriodicalId":38329,"journal":{"name":"Competition and Regulation in Network Industries","volume":"20 1","pages":"273 - 274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1783591719889161","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49033676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists of 37 air navigation service providers (ANSPs) whose areas of responsibility are, in most cases, limited to national borders. ATM fragmentation impacts air traffic operations in Europe in several ways. One of them is reflected through the current route charging system, which is designed and adapted to the fragmented ATM system to recover air navigation service provision costs at the level of individual ANSPs. Differences in unit rates have led to the phenomenon of aircraft taking detours around expensive charging zones, resulting in additional fuel consumption and emissions, as well as traffic shifts caused by varying unit rates. In this article, we analyze the differences in the unit rates across Europe and their evolution over the past few years. The main focus of the article is the analysis of the route charge variability on an airport-pair level, measured by an airport-pair variability indicator, which we suggest as a metric. We show the route charge variability for different flight distances, geographic areas, and flight directions, and we also identify airport pairs with the highest route charge variability. Finally, we discuss selected alternatives to the current route charging system, such as the uniform charge method and different approaches to airport-pair charging.","PeriodicalId":38329,"journal":{"name":"Competition and Regulation in Network Industries","volume":"20 1","pages":"290 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1783591719866105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44918839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
