In 2020, as a result of the severe COVID-19 crisis, we refocused our efforts to ensure the company’s economic viability and safeguard all ENAIRE jobs, which required us to adjust the roadmap during the final year of the plan.
Among the main achievements of PV2020 were: the incorporation of new technologies that improved operational flow, especially in the most congested areas and under adverse conditions; ENAIRE’s commitment to sustainable growth, which delivered significant environmental benefits; the reduction of the en-route charge between 2018 and 2020 by 29% on the Spanish mainland and 25% in the Canary Islands, placing us among the lowest of the main European providers and thereby improving the competitiveness of Spanish air transport; the investment of 360 million euros during the period in the roll-out of PV2020, demonstrating the company’s commitment to anticipating the future of air traffic management and confirming its position as one of the leading providers at European and global level.
Later, the 2025 Flight Plan (2025FP) became ENAIRE’s Strategic Plan for the 2021–2025 period, as it set out the organisation’s roadmap for renewing and adapting to the structural changes that are transforming the air navigation sector, continuing the transformation and modernisation process initiated by the 2020 Flight Plan (2017–2020).
It was approved by ENAIRE’s Governing Board in April 2021 and updated in December 2023 to reflect new forecasts and developments in the sector and those arising from its projects and/or services.
Although safety will always be ENAIRE’s main strategic priority, the 2025 Flight Plan also included other key workstreams designed to meet the challenge posed by the Digital European Sky, aimed at greater efficiency, digitisation and sustainability. These included sustainable mobility, digitisation, efficiency, innovation and internationalisation, the development of which allowed us to become more efficient and competitive.
