Decision on Irish Draft Performance Plan for RP4
02 Oct 2024
The IAA has published its Decision on a Draft RP4 Performance Plan for Ireland. The decision can be viewed at Performance Plan for RP4
This document sets out our Decision on Ireland’s Performance Plan for Reference Period 4 (RP4) of the Single European Sky performance and charging framework, which runs from 2025 to 2029. The RP4 Performance Plan covers En Route air navigation services in the Shannon Flight Information Region (FIR) and Shannon Upper Information Region (UIR). It also covers Terminal services provided at Dublin, Shannon and Cork airports. The charging zones are therefore unchanged relative to RP3.
The RP4 Performance Plan covers costs of the following entities:
- AirNav Ireland ANSP.
- Met Eireann Aviation Services Division (ASD).
- IAA supervision costs, state policy costs, and Eurocontrol costs.
The costs all relate to the provision or oversight of air traffic services, and are
to be remunerated by the users of En Route and Terminal services over RP4.
In total, in nominal prices, we have set determined costs for all entities at
€1.08bn for the 5 years, 2025 to 2029, an increase on our Draft proposal of
€1.06bn. Of that, approximately €922m relates to our forecast costs of AirNav
Ireland (€913m in the Draft Decision), €58.3m to MET ASD (€51m in the Draft
Decision), and the remaining €96.7m relates to the Eurocontrol, IAA, and State
policy costs (€91m in the Draft Decision)
