Delays and Cancellations

Drones disrupt 7 flights at Jersey Airport over 2 nights

Drone incursions at Jersey Airport disrupted 7 arrivals across 30 and 31 October 2026, affecting easyJet, Loganair, and British Airways services. Passengers faced cancellations and diversions, including a Madeira charter sent to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, while an easyJet flight from London Gatwick eventually landed at 11:43 pm after Jersey extended its operating hours. Police are investigating, and Jersey's government is working with UK authorities and specialist agencies to improve drone detection and response. Compensation is unlikely because the security-related disruption was outside airline control, but if your journey was affected, you may still have rights to rebooking, refunds, and care.

Air France extends Dubai cancellations to November and Riyadh to December

Travelers booked with Air France between France and Dubai International Airport face cancellations until 7 November 2026, while services to and from Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport remain suspended until 12 December 2026. The restrictions that began on 28 February following strikes on Iran and regional airspace closures continue, with Air France the latest airline to confirm their suspensions. If you’re affected, check your booking rather than relying on the published suspension dates alone.

Naples Capodichino Airport closed throughout November 2026

A month-long runway refurbishment will halt every flight at Naples Capodichino Airport from 1 to 30 November 2026, with some services transferring to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport. Part of a €30 million improvement project, the closure will see Salerno handle connections to 15 domestic and international destinations, supported by special buses, more frequent station links, and fixed-fare shared taxis. If you're traveling during November, check your booking and airport transfer arrangements before setting off.

easyJet cancels more than 56 Italy flights ahead of 30 October strike

A national transport strike in Italy on 30 October 2026 has already prompted more than 56 easyJet flight cancellations, while Ryanair is also canceling and rescheduling services. Air traffic controllers will walk out from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, alongside a 24-hour strike by ground handlers and security staff affecting airports nationwide, including Rome Fiumicino Airport and Milan Malpensa Airport. Disrupted rail, metro, bus, and taxi connections could also make reaching the airport harder, so check your booking before traveling. Compensation is unlikely because these strikes are outside the airlines' control, but if your flight is canceled, you're still entitled to a refund or free rebooking, with care available during qualifying waits.

easyJet cabin crew plan Portugal strike from 19 to 23 December

A planned easyJet cabin crew walkout in Portugal from 19 to 23 December 2026 could disrupt services at Lisbon Airport, Porto Airport, and Faro Airport, including routes to and from Europe and the UK. Previous similar action caused more than 400 cancellations. If you're affected by the airline's own crew strike, EC 261 compensation may apply, but canceled flights qualify only when passengers receive less than 14 days' notice and meet the other eligibility conditions. Even when compensation isn't owed, a cancellation still gives you the choice of an alternative flight or a refund, with care available during qualifying waits.

Loganair flights canceled after Kirkwall Airport air traffic control closure

An unexpected air traffic control staffing issue at Kirkwall Airport disrupted Loganair connections with Edinburgh Airport and Aberdeen Airport on 28 and 29 October 2026. The tower closed from 6:00 pm on Wednesday, with further brief closures planned for Thursday and cancellations affecting evening services and the next morning's Kirkwall–Aberdeen flight. Loganair should arrange rebooking, welfare support, and overnight accommodation where needed. The airline has added a Thursday afternoon Edinburgh–Kirkwall return service departing Edinburgh at 3:30 pm.

Vueling bomb threat disrupts flights at Gran Canaria Airport

A security alert involving Vueling's Barcelona–Gran Canaria flight VY3008 affected operations at Gran Canaria Airport in Spain late on 26 October 2026, including a Binter departure to Lanzarote. The Vueling aircraft landed safely, and its passengers were taken to an isolated room while the aircraft and baggage awaited inspection. The Binter service departed about 20 minutes after the alert was announced, while several incoming aircraft circled awaiting landing clearance and the security operation remained ongoing at publication.

King Khalid International Airport worst hit as 7,802 Saudi departures disrupted

Nearly half of Saudi Arabia's scheduled departures were canceled or classified as no-fly between 8 and 25 October 2026, affecting 7,802 services amid repeated attacks. Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport accounted for 4,071 affected departures and remains heavily restricted despite partially reopening on 25 October after a 2-week shutdown. Lufthansa Group, Air France-KLM, and IndiGo have extended cancellations or restrictions, while Delta Air Lines has delayed its Atlanta–Riyadh launch until March 2027. If your journey's affected, compensation is unlikely because the attacks are outside airlines' control, but refund, rebooking, and care rights may still apply depending on your flight.

Strong winds divert 2 Edinburgh-bound Ryanair flights to Oslo and Manchester

Ryanair passengers traveling to Edinburgh from Faro and Malta faced diversions on 24 October 2026 as Storm Boelo brought strong winds and an amber weather warning to Scotland. The Faro service landed at Oslo Airport, where a minor technical issue caused a further wait before the aircraft was cleared to depart at 12:44 am local time. The Malta flight landed at Manchester Airport, with Ryanair arranging onward transport to Edinburgh that left at 7:15 pm local time. Compensation is unlikely for disruption caused by weather outside the airline's control, but the passengers affected have rights to care and alternative travel arrangements.

Stansted Airport power surge delays 250 flights and cancels 6

Travelers at Stansted Airport in Essex faced hours in lines on 25 October 2026 as a power surge interrupted security and baggage systems, leaving 250 flights delayed and 6 canceled. Airport teams restored all systems by the evening and apologized to passengers after several hours of disruption. The incident followed weekend rail problems linked to Storm Boelo, which had also affected Stansted Express services, while falling trees near Stansted Mountfitchet had damaged overhead cables. Compensation under UK 261 is unlikely because the airport-side power failure was outside airlines' control, but if your journey was affected, you may still have rights to rebooking, a refund, and care while you wait.

Storms cancel 41 Jersey Airport flights and 42 KLM services

Passengers across Western Europe faced 125 disrupted flights as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo brought severe winds and rain from 23 to 25 October 2026. Jersey Airport recorded 41 canceled arrivals and departures, while KLM canceled 42 flights over Friday and Saturday, and Leeds Bradford Airport experienced cancellations and diversions on Sunday morning. Services across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK were affected, with road and rail problems adding to the difficulty of reaching airports. Weather-related disruptions aren't usually eligible for compensation under EC 261 or UK 261, but affected passengers may be entitled to refunds, rebooking, meals, and overnight accommodation.

Loganair storm cancellations leave scores of Shetlanders stranded

Scores of Shetlanders have been left on mainland Scotland after Storm Boelo triggered widespread flight cancellations, with some paying hundreds of pounds for hotels in Aberdeen or trying alternative airports without success. Loganair is offering free changes for Tuesday, 27 October 2026 flights to and from Sumburgh Airport and other Scottish airports as another strong-wind warning threatens further disruption. Canceled NorthLink Ferries sailings and heavy demand for cabins have also limited alternatives, while Shetland MSP Hannah Mary Goodlad is due to meet Loganair's chief executive later this week. Weather-related compensation is unlikely, but if you're affected, you can still ask about refunds, rebooking, and care.

King Fahd International Airport attack causes more Saudi flight disruptions

Airlines have extended cancellations and route suspensions across Saudi Arabia following continuing missile and drone attacks, including a strike on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam on 21 October 2026 that killed 2 people and injured 8. King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh reopened on 18 October, but flights still require advance permission and dozens of international routes remain suspended. Restrictions vary by carrier, with Cathay Pacific's Riyadh suspension extending to 31 January 2027, while some services continue from Jeddah and Medina. If your flight is affected you may have rights to a refund, rebooking, and care.

Typhoon Champi grounds 977 Taiwan flights, including 596 at Taoyuan airport

Taiwan's flight cancellations reached 977 by the morning of 23 October 2026 as Typhoon Champi disrupts domestic, international, and cross-strait travel, with 596 cancellations recorded at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport between midnight and 9:00 am. EVA Air canceled its later Friday long-haul services between Taiwan and Europe or the United States, while Starlux Airlines restricted operations to long-haul flights. Weather-related compensation is generally unlikely, but if you're affected, you should still ask your airline about refunds, rebooking, and care, with support depending on your carrier and itinerary.

Copenhagen Airport security queues cause about 200 Norwegian passengers to miss flights

About 200 Norwegian Air Shuttle passengers missed evening departures from Copenhagen Airport on 22 October 2026 after temporary security checks created lengthy queues. The checks followed an inspection by the Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority, and heavy traffic—including Swedish travelers leaving ahead of the autumn holiday—added to the congestion despite extra screening staff. Norwegian said it hadn't been warned about the changes and urged early arrival ahead of 16 scheduled departures the following morning, with disruption continuing into the next day. Compensation is unlikely because the checks were outside the airline's control, although support may still apply depending on your flight's circumstances.

Brussels Airlines cancels flight SN 3289 to Tel Aviv after crew member falls ill

A crew member's illness led Brussels Airlines to cancel flight SN 3289 to Tel Aviv on 21 October 2026, with all affected passengers moved onto alternative flights. The crew had signed in for duty, but the illness emerged during pre-flight preparations, leaving the airline unable to find a replacement in time. If you were affected, you may qualify for up to {{compensation_value}} compensation under EC 261.
