Were you on one of these flights?
If your flight arrived 3 hours or more late, or was cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you may be owed €250, €400 or €600 per passenger under EU261. The airline only avoids paying if it can prove extraordinary circumstances. If it has already said no, we prepare your appeal for €29.

How we count
- Flight data from Avinor · Flight data from Swedavia · Flight data from Finavia. We collect the arrival times that the airports publish.
- Airports covered: Ålesund (AES), Bergen (BGO), Bodø (BOO), Kristiansand (KRS), Oslo (OSL), Stavanger (SVG), Tromsø (TOS), Trondheim (TRD), Stockholm Arlanda (ARN), Gothenburg (GOT), Malmö (MMX), Helsinki (HEL), Kittilä (KTT), Oulu (OUL), Rovaniemi (RVN), Turku (TKU), Tampere (TMP).
- Period: 13 October 2026 to 16 October 2026. Our data starts on 13 October 2026, so the first days of the month are missing. The month is not over yet, and the figures are updated every day. Updated 16/10, 10:25 (Finnish time).
- Delay is measured at arrival: the actual time the airport published (landing or arrival at the gate) against the scheduled time. A flight counts once the airport has reported an arrival time or a cancellation. Flights with no final status are left out.
- Under "May qualify for EU261 compensation" we count flights that arrived 3 hours or more late or were cancelled. Whether a passenger is owed money also depends on the cause, how early a cancellation was announced, the route and the airline. These figures say nothing about whether any specific flight qualifies.
- The airline is the one named in the airport data.
