WE ARE

The European Commission has established the Secretariat for the Performance Review Board of the Single European Sky. The Secretariat plays a key role to support the Board with its tasks in relation to the functioning of the performance and charging schemes of the Single European Sky, the economic regulation of air navigation services and network functions in the EU. The advice provided by the Board is used by the Commission in its role of regulator for air navigation services.

The Single European Sky legal framework aims to improve the overall efficiency of the way in which European airspace and the provision of air navigation services is regulated, organised and managed in Europe. This is done to stimulate the capacity, cost-efficiency, environment (and as of 2030 also climate) performance of monopoly air navigation service providers.

The Secretariat for the Performance Review Board has important tasks to provide economic, legal, and technical analyses for target setting and performance monitoring of air navigation services both at Union and national levels, for benchmarking as well as for the determination of charges which are paid by airlines and ultimately their customers. Work includes data collection and data analysis as well as data dissemination. The Secretariat provides administrative support to the Performance Review Board as well as to the National Supervisory Authorities Cooperation Board.
