Article 10a 5.

Where data published by Eurocontrol clearly shows that weekly air traffic, over a period of 2 consecutive weeks, has fallen below 80 % of 2019 levels of the corresponding weeks, due to COVID-19 crisis, other epidemiological situations or as a direct effect of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and that, on the basis of Eurocontrol traffic forecasts, the reduction in the level of air traffic as compared to the level in the corresponding period in 2019 is likely to persist, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 12a to amend the percentage values set out in paragraph 3 of this Article and in Article 8(2), Article 10(2) and (4) and Article 14(6), first subparagraph, within a range between 0 % and 70 % for any scheduling period falling between 30 October 2022 and 28 October 2023. The percentage value applied shall be proportionate to the level of air traffic forecasts by Eurocontrol.
