EU261 live network
European flight statistics
Airport coverage and daily operational outcomes from the EU261 flight database.
Reporting period
Every table, chart and ranking on this page is calculated over the period you pick here.
About this data
We continuously track flights across the European network, covering roughly about 75% of commercial European air traffic. These figures are therefore a large but partial sample: totals, percentages and rankings reflect the flights we observe over the period selected above, not every flight operated in Europe.
Figures may also contain occasional errors introduced when data is sourced, transmitted over the network, or stored and processed. Any single row can be imperfect, but across many thousands of flights the statistics are designed to reflect real-world operational performance on average. EU261 compensation always depends on the specific circumstances of your own flight.
Most airports are read from the flight information they publish themselves. Five sources are credited at the end of the page: Avinor and Swedavia, which operate the Norwegian and Swedish airports, for their official flight data, Flughafen Hamburg GmbH for Hamburg Airport's official flight data, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport for its own board, and Avionio, whose flight boards supply 16 airports. Each credit covers only the flights to or from the airports it names.
What counts as a delay
Every delay on this page is measured on the arrival time at the destination, never on the departure.
Delayed (>5 min) is the broad punctuality measure: any flight that arrived more than 5 minutes late. 3 h or more is the subset that arrived at least 3 hours late — the threshold Article 7 of Regulation EU261 sets for compensation of €250–€600, and the red part of each stacked bar below.
In the daily table and trend, “Delayed” means more than 5 minutes late and the “Over 1h / 2h / 3h” columns are subsets of it. Cancellations are counted separately and never as delays; “Avg delay” is the mean arrival delay across the flights that did arrive late.

Countries by number of flights — 90 days
Every tracked airport in a country rolled up into one national network — the same movements as the airport table above, grouped by where the airport is. Covers the EU and EEA plus Switzerland, the countries Regulation EU261 applies from. Figures are shares, because a national total mostly restates how big the country is.
