Landed just after midnight? Pick the day before.

£1,700 + €5,500estimated owed to passengers that day, at £220 to £520 each

41 flights 3 hours or more late 84 cancelled

That estimate is for the 26 flights the UK and EU rules cover, out of 41 that arrived 3 or more hours late and 84 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: 14 of them logged one on 6 October 2026, Aberdeen, Belfast City, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newark, Glasgow, JFK, London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted. Every flight that landed 3 or more hours late that day, or got cancelled outright, was logged and scored under UK261 and EU261, the same rules the checker above uses.

The 125 arrivals we hold a per-flight record of for 6 October 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.

Longest wait

Biggest single delay

A Jet2 flight into Birmingham Airport ran 10 hrs 5 min late on 6 October 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. 6 October 2026 is complete. "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.
