That estimate adds up the 12
late flights the UK and EU rules cover, out of 29 that landed 3 hours or
more late at the airports we track. The other late flights were outside the rules, most often a flight
into the UK on an airline based elsewhere. It leaves out the 46 cancellations, because whether those pay depends on how
much notice passengers were given.
This isn't CAA punctuality data, it's our own live tracking of flights. We sweep
22 airports today: Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Luton, Edinburgh, JFK, Newark, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, London City, Belfast International, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds Bradford, Belfast City, Aberdeen, East Midlands, Southampton, Jersey and Bournemouth.
That list grew from 8 on 27 August 2026, so a day before then covers the original eight only.
It is not a national or worldwide count. Not every airport has a delay or cancellation
every day: 10 of them logged one on 23 September 2026, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newark, Glasgow, JFK, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Manchester and Stansted.
Every flight that
landed 3 hours or more late that day, or was cancelled, was logged
and checked against the UK and EU rules, the same ones the checker above uses.

Find your flight The 75 arrivals we hold a per-flight record of for 23 September 2026, at the airports we swept that day. This is our raw log, so it includes flights UK and EU rules do not reach; the totals above come from the day's own sweep summary and count on a different basis, so the two do not add up to each other. 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.

Longest wait
Biggest single delay
A RwandAir flight into London Heathrow Airport ran
9 hrs 19 min late
on 23 September 2026, the longest delay we logged that day.
These counts cover arrivals at the airports we swept that day, several times a day, not every
UK/EU flight. We track arrivals at 22 airports now; the list grew from 8 to 22 on
27 August 2026, so days before that cover fewer. 23 September 2026 is complete. "Est. owed" applies the amounts the rules set
to each covered flight; airlines can still dispute individual claims by pointing to
extraordinary circumstances, so treat these as a strong steer, not a guarantee for any
one passenger.
Source: CheckFlightCompensation live flight tracking.
Think you have a claim? Delays of 3 hours or more pay £220 to £520 each when the cause was within the airline's control, and you can claim years back. Check your flight free in 60 seconds, or hand it to a claim firm and let them do the chasing.
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.
