Every Loganair route we hold a distance for falls in the same band, so that is the figure. About 356 Loganair flights a year cross that line.
The short answer
Getting compensation from Loganair
If your Loganair flight landed 3 hours or more late, or was cancelled with less than 2 weeks' notice, everyone on the booking may be owed £220 each, because almost all of its flights are under 1,500 km. It applies when the cause was within Loganair's control, such as a technical fault or a crew shortage. Checking your flight is free.
Are island flights covered?
Yes. Flights within the UK are covered, including routes to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. A short flight that lands 3 hours or more late pays £220 each.
What if Loganair blames the weather?
Fog and high winds are common on island routes, and genuinely severe weather means no fixed payout. Loganair must still give you food, drink and a hotel if you are stuck overnight, and a technical fault or a crew shortage still counts, whatever the weather.
Does a cancelled Loganair flight count?
Yes, if you were told less than 2 weeks before the flight. You are owed the same as a long delay unless Loganair offered a replacement close to your original times, or the cause was outside its control. You can also choose a full refund instead of a new flight.
How long does a Loganair claim take?
Airlines usually reply within a few weeks. If Loganair refuses or does not answer within eight weeks, you can take the claim further for free, through an approved dispute resolution scheme or the regulator for the country the flight left from.

How bad is it

Not especially. It's about average for the 81 airlines flying at UK airports, with about 1 flight in 170 landing 3 hours or more late (0.6%).
That works out at about 356 flights a year crossing the 3-hour line, which is the point the airline has to pay.
When is it worst?

From our own tracking
Recent Loganair flights we logged running late
Every Loganair flight we logged running 3 hours or more late, or cancelled, at the airports we sweep since August. Newest first, and only flights UK or EU rules cover. A cancelled row carries no figure because what it pays turns on the notice you were given. Amounts are per person on the booking (half on the longest flights that landed 3 to 4 hours late). Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours for the real answer. We earn a fee if you claim through a Claim link.

How to claim
Claiming from Loganair
Loganair does not pay compensation automatically. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.

What the rules turn on
Where the flight leaves from matters most. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by the UK rules whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by the EU's. A flight into the UK or the EU is covered too when a UK or EU airline flies it. A delay of 3 hours or more on arrival pays £220 each on the distances Loganair flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
