£780 + €3,650estimated owed to passengers that day, at £220 to £520 each (€250 to €600 on flights from the EU)

28 flights 3 hours or more late 47 cancelled

That estimate adds up the 13 late flights the UK and EU rules cover, out of 28 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 47 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: 15 of them had a flight land 3 hours or more late or be cancelled on 18 October 2026, Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newark, Glasgow, JFK, Leeds Bradford, London City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle 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.

By airline

Every airline with delays that day

Each one lists its own flights and what they were worth. Only airlines with at least three flights UK or EU rules cover get a page, so this is shorter than the counts above. The flight counts here include flights leaving the airports we sweep, so they can be higher than the totals above.

The 93 flights we hold a per-flight record of for 18 October 2026. Of these, 75 landed at the airports we swept that day, and the totals above count those. The other 18 left those airports: they were late or cancelled too, but the totals leave them out. This is our raw log, so it includes flights UK and EU rules do not reach. Flights leaving the UK show when they leave and when they land, each in local time. How late is counted from when they land. 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 United Airlines flight into Newark Liberty International Airport ran 14 hrs 21 min late on 18 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. The flight table also lists the late or cancelled flights that left them, which these counts leave out. We track 22 airports now; the list grew from 8 to 22 on 27 August 2026, so days before that cover fewer. 18 October 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.
