The ENAIRE, COPAC, APROCTA, and UPCA Observatory reports a 25 per cent reduction in emissions from aviation

The Air Operations Safety, Efficiency and Sustainability Observatory, composed of ENAIRE as the national air navigation service provider, the Official College of Commercial Aviation Pilots (COPAC), the Professional Association of Air Traffic Controllers (APROCTA), and the Professional Union of Air Traffic Controllers (UPCA), conducted over 5,000 direct flight observations throughout 2024, collecting data aimed at identifying best practices that result in operational improvements.

In the recently held Government Committee, which analysed the results of the year, it was noted how operational efficiency has been maintained despite the record growth of air traffic.

Environmental aspects have been another priority for 2024, with the collection of parameters to measure certain impacts on arrivals and departures at the airports analysed by the Observatory: Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat, Palma, Málaga-Costa del Sol and Gran Canaria.
