Daily delay log
Edinburgh delays on 8 September 2026
4 arrivals ran 3 hours or more late and 22 were cancelled at Edinburgh that day. Every one is below, with what it is worth per person.
Why this day was disrupted
8 September 2026 was a NATS air traffic control failure. The CAA said disruption caused by it is likely to count as extraordinary circumstances, so compensation is unlikely to be owed for those flights, including the knock-on delays over the days after.
What the airline still owes you does not depend on whose fault it was: food and drink, a hotel and the transfers to it if you were stuck overnight, and your money back if you gave up on the trip.
Every flight
Find your flight
Every arrival into Edinburgh we logged on 8 September 2026 that ran 3 or more hours late or was cancelled, and that UK or EU rules cover. The amount is what UK or EU rules pay that passenger, per person on the booking: usually the full rate for the distance, and half of it on the longest flights that landed between 3 and 4 hours late. Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours to get the real answer.

Around this day
This is our own arrivals tracking, not CAA punctuality data: we sweep the airports we cover several times a day and log every arrival that crosses the 3-hour line or is cancelled outright. It is not every flight into Edinburgh that day, only the ones that went wrong -- and of those, only the ones UK or EU rules cover, which is what this page is about. The day page counts everything we logged, so its totals are larger.
