APR 16, 2003 (newstodate): The unilateral German decree, which takes effect from tomorrow, will cause severe delays in air traffic in Zurich, says Swiss ATM, Skyguide.
-Skyguide has less airspace available during the off periods to guide traffic into and out of Zurich, says Skyguide in a statement.
The new conditions will reduce the arrival options. In addition, some of the provisions also have a direct impact on departures.
During the off periods, the procedures will entail drastic capacity restrictions and delays.
Initially, this means down from currently 40 to 20 arrivals per hour, approximately 30 departures per hour instead of now up to 44 per hour, Skyguide says.
