That estimate is for the 7 flights the UK and EU rules cover, out of 24 that arrived 3 or more hours late and 42 cancelled outright at the airports we track. The rest were outside the rules, most often a flight into the UK on an airline based elsewhere.
This isn't CAA punctuality data, it's our own live tracking of arrivals. 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: 11 of them logged one on 23 September 2026, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newark, Glasgow, Jersey, JFK, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Manchester and Stansted. Every flight that lands 3 or more hours late that day, or gets cancelled outright, is logged and scored under UK261 and EU261, the same rules the checker above uses.

The 66 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. 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.

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 22 airports now; the list grew from 8 to 22 on 27 August 2026, so days before that cover fewer. Today is still in progress, so the totals update as more sweeps come in. "Est. owed" applies the UK261/EU261 amounts to each eligible 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.
