Transportudvalget har i brev af 4. april 2022 stillet mig følgende

spørgsmål (TRU alm. del), som jeg hermed skal besvare. Spørgs-

målet er stillet efter ønske fra Hans Christian Schmidt (V).

Spørgsmål nr. 412:

Vil ministeren oplyse, om der har været foretaget en konkret

granskning af banelyssagen af Det Europæiske Luftfartssikker-

hedsagenturs (EASA), der har muliggjort, at EASA’s eksperter har

kunnet lavet en så klar konklusion, som det fremgår af transport-

ministerens nyhed ”EASA finder ikke fejl i sagerne om løsrevne ba-

nelys i Københavns Lufthavn” af 17. december 2021

(www.trm.dk/nyheder/2021/easa-finder-ikke-fejl-i-sagerne-om-

loesrevne-banelys-ikoebenhavns-lufthavn)? Og kan ministeren

fremlægge dokumentation herfor, f.eks. i form af en rapport fra

EASA, hvor EASA’s eksperter blåstempler de substantielle spørgs-

mål i lufthavnens og Trafikstyrelsens håndtering af banelyssagen,

eller er der alene tale om et brev fra EASA’s afdelingschef Jesper

Rasmussen som svar til ministerens departementschef?

Svar:

Trafikstyrelsen har i forbindelse med besvarelse af en aktindsigts-

anmodning været i dialog med EASA’s omkring offentliggørelse af

dele af EASAs endelige rapport fra december 2021 omkring den

samlede inspektion af Trafikstyrelsens flyvepladsområde.

I denne forbindelse oplyste EASA, at den samlede rapport fortsat

er underlagt fortrolighed, men at den del af rapporten som om-

handler banelyssagen kunne udleveres. Transportordførerne blev

oplyst herom på mail af 1. februar 2022, dog blev det relevante ud-

drag af rapporten ikke medsendt i forbindelse med orienteringen.

EASAs vurdering af banelyssagen fremgår af side 13-14 i rapporten

fra december 2021 og EASA skriver følgende:

Already in March 2021, EASA had received a letter from the Dan-

ish Ministry of Transport in which they were asking EASA to con-

duct the standardisation inspection of Denmark earlier than ini-

tially planned, and especially it was requested to assess the per-

formance of the DCARA and the aerodrome operator with regard

to specific occurrences reported at Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup

during the years 2018 and 2019. The occurrences were about FOD

identified in different parts of the manoeuvring area of the aero-

drome. These FOD items were related to the Aeronautical Ground

Lighting (AGL) system used at the aerodrome.

The Agency responded positively to the request in the letter and

committed itself to further assess the FOD events during the

standardisation inspection. It was also highlighted that EASA’s

mandate in the ADR domain does not allow to go beyond as-

sessing the DCARA compliance with the EU regulations. Due to

continuing COVID-19 restrictions in spring and summer, the date

of the inspection was not changed forward but took place as

planned.

Because this inspection was the first comprehensive standardisa-

tion inspection of Denmark in the ADR domain, it was important

not to compromise the scope of the inspection itself and instead, to

integrate the case of the FOD occurrences with their major con-

tributing areas (e.g. SMS, maintenance programme, FOD pro-

gramme etc.) into the regular standardisation activity.

During the standardisation inspection, the FOD case was investi-

gated by EASA through the standard working methods used for

EASA’s standardisation inspections and was discussed with

DCARA and Copenhagen Airports A/S with focus on the relevant

requirements of the aerodrome regulation (Reg. (EU) 139/2014)

but also having in mind the general process for the handling of

and reaction to occurrences and identified safety issues described

in Regulation (EU) 376/2014.

While pursuing this approach the inspection team did not identify

any significant issues regarding the performance of DCARA

and/or the aerodrome operator related to the specific FOD cases

which happened in 2018 and 2019 at Copenhagen Airport.

The DCARA is invited to take due note of the observations in-

cluded in the specific Critical Elements paragraphs above for fur-

ther improvement, even if they are not classified as findings.”
