UK flight delays, month by month

£77,460 + €182,950owed to passengers across every flight we have tracked, at £220 to £520 each

Claim firms take a success fee, typically 20-30% plus VAT, so you receive less than the figure above. A claim firm only gets paid if it wins.

We earn a fee if you claim through it.

Part of that total is unlikely to be paid. 2 days on record were disrupted by an air traffic control failure (8 September 2026 and 21 September 2026), and the CAA has said compensation is unlikely to be owed for disruption those caused. Care, a hotel and a refund are still owed whatever the cause.

What you're owed

£77,460 + €182,950 across every delay we have logged

That is 1,829 flights that landed 3 hours or more late and 3,442 that were cancelled, added up across every passenger we can price. It is what the airlines owed between them, not what any one person gets — yours depends on how far you were flying.

Month by month

This isn't CAA punctuality data, it's our own live tracking of arrivals at the airports we cover, swept several times a day. Every flight that lands 3 or more hours late, or gets cancelled outright, gets logged and scored under UK261 and EU261, the same rules the checker above uses. Pick a month to see the totals, the worst airlines and airports, and what passengers were likely owed.
