Delays

Paris airport strike on 18 June could delay flights at Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Le Bourget

A 24-hour strike on 18 June 2026 by ground-handling, security, cleaning, and retail staff is set to affect Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris Orly Airport, and Paris Le Bourget Airport. Flights aren't expected to stop completely, but reduced staffing could slow baggage handling, security, aircraft turnaround, and terminal services, leading to longer queues and knock-on delays, especially at CDG. Passengers on Air France, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, and other carriers serving Paris may want to check flight status early, arrive with extra time, and consider traveling on 17 or 19 June if they can. Because the strike involves airport workers rather than airline employees, compensation is usually unlikely, but airlines should still offer refunds or rerouting for canceled flights and support during long delays.

Strong winds cancel 22 flights at Madeira Airport

Powerful winds disrupted flights at Madeira Airport (FNC) in Funchal on 9 June 2026, leading to 22 cancellations by 11:30 pm and forcing other services to divert. Gusts reached 94 km/h in the afternoon and were still strong late in the evening, making it unsafe for some aircraft to land or depart. The disruption was still affecting operations late on Tuesday. Because the problem was weather-related, compensation under EC 261 is usually unlikely, but airlines should still provide care and assistance, including rebooking or refunds, meals, and hotel accommodation where needed.

Wind delays flights at Palma de Mallorca Airport on 9 June

Delays spread across Palma de Mallorca Airport on 9 June 2026 after wind shear forced air traffic control to increase the spacing between arriving aircraft and hold some flights before landing. "Wind shear" is a sudden and dramatic change in wind speed, wind direction, or both. It particularly problematic for airplanes during take off and landing, hence why Palma Airport took precautionary measures. The airport remained open, but the knock-on effect hit both arrivals and departures through the afternoon and early evening. Because the disruptions were caused by weather, compensation under EC 261 is usually unlikely, but airlines should still provide care and assistance during longer delays.

KLM cancels 22 flights at Amsterdam Schiphol as delays hit Europe and US routes

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines canceled 22 flights at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the 24 hours leading up to 9 June 2026, while dozens more services were delayed across European and US routes. The disruption hit busy connections to Zurich, Geneva, Berlin, Paris, and Lisbon, and also affected some trans-Atlantic flights, leaving passengers to deal with crowded terminals and long rebooking waits. With no strike, major IT failure, or severe weather event linked to the problem, the disruption points to operational pressure within the airline's control. That means passengers whose flights were canceled or delayed by more than 3 hours may be entitled to up to {{compensation_value}} compensation under EC 261, and can check their flight with AirHelp's free checker.

Tornado-related storms disrupt over 1,000 flights at Denver International Airport

Severe weather linked to a tornado outbreak disrupted operations at Denver International Airport on 8 June 2026, affecting over 1,000 flights in total. Airport data showed 1,002 delays and 9 cancellations across arrivals and departures, with Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska Airlines among the carriers responding to the disruption. For travelers, that meant longer waits, changed plans, and some canceled trips. Passengers were told to monitor their booking channels for updates and rebooking options. For trips covered by EC 261, compensation is usually unlikely because severe weather is outside the airline's control, but airlines should still provide care and assistance, including rebooking or refunds where appropriate.

Rome Fiumicino disruption causes over 300 delays and 5 cancellations at Leonardo da Vinci Airport

Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was hit by heavy disruption on 8 June 2026, with over 300 delayed flights and 5 cancellations affecting thousands of passengers and airlines including ITA Airways, easyJet, Wizz Air, KLM, and British Airways. The problems appear to have been driven by wider airport and network pressure which could mean staffing shortages, tight runway capacity, and air traffic congestion across Europe. Whether passengers can claim compensation depends on the exact reason the flight was disrupted, but passengers should still check their rights and ask for rerouting, refunds, food, and other care where needed.

Vienna International Airport delays 106 flights and cancels 6 on 8 June

Travelers at Vienna International Airport (VIE) on 8 June 2026 faced major disruption, with 106 flights delayed and 6 flights canceled, leaving passengers facing long waits across terminals and departure gates. Austrian Airlines, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Wizz Air, and Turkish Airlines were among the carriers most affected, with services to Frankfurt, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Dubai hit. Because no single cause had been confirmed, passenger rights will depend on what ultimately triggered the disruption, although airlines should still provide care and assistance during long waits.

Amsterdam Schiphol sees 252 delays and 21 cancellations on 7 June

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands recorded 252 delayed flights and 21 cancellations on 7 June 2026, with the disruption hitting both local departures and onward connections. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was prominently affected, and delays also spread to Delta Air Lines, Lufthansa, British Airways, and easyJet as aircraft and crews fell out of position. For passengers, that meant missed long-haul connections, long lines at service desks, baggage re-tagging, and overnight stays for some travelers. Because the disruption appears linked to capacity pressure, turnaround times, crew availability, and air-traffic-control spacing rather than one clear trigger, your rights will depend on your exact flight. If you were affected, keep your boarding pass and receipts, and check what support or compensation may apply under EC 261.

Heathrow and Gatwick disruption causes 337 delays and 11 cancellations

On 7 June 2026, London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick Airport were hit by major same-day disruption, with 337 delayed flights and 11 cancellations across domestic UK, European, Middle East, North American, and long-haul routes. Passengers faced long lines, missed connections, overnight rebookings, and repeated gate changes as delays built through the day. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, easyJet, Ryanair, and Emirates were among the airlines affected, with Heathrow’s long-haul connections and Gatwick’s tight short-haul schedules helping the disruption spread. Because no single cause was identified, compensation will depend on the details of each case, but passengers may still have rights to care, rebooking, refunds, and in some situations compensation.

If your flight was canceled at short notice or delayed by more than 3 hours, you may be able to claim up to {{compensation_value}} compensation under EC 261, although eligibility will depend on the exact reason for your disruption.

LaGuardia delays and cancellations affect 256 flights across four airlines

On 7 June 2026, LaGuardia Airport in New York was hit by a broad operational disruption that affected Republic Airways, Jazz Aviation, Endeavor Air, and American Airlines. The four carriers canceled 35 departures and delayed 302 more. Together with disruptions from other airlines that's 468 affected flights and spreading disruption to at least 60 cities across the United States and Canada. For passengers, that meant missed connections, long rebooking lines, and overloaded airline apps and call centers. Because the exact cause hasn’t been fully confirmed, compensation remains uncertain, but for passengers on EU flights, it’s still a good idea to keep receipts and check your flight with AirHelp’s free checker.

Disruption at Dallas-Fort Worth causes 407 cancellations and AA1555 emergency landing

Operations at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport remained under pressure on 8 June 2026 after a day of disruption left 407 flights canceled and 1,035 delayed. American Airlines saw the biggest impact, with 245 cancellations and 557 delays, including flight AA1555 which diverted from Chicago to Oklahoma City for a safe emergency landing. The cause of the disruption was storms and severe weather warnings in the area. For passengers, that meant missed connections, long queues, and disruption across domestic and international routes. Passengers on canceled flights can claim a refund for their flight — or ask for a seat on the next available alternative.

The disruption spread through more than 30 cities, with knock-on delays reaching destinations including London, Amsterdam, Oslo, Paris, Lisbon, Newark, Tokyo, and Bangkok.

Milan Malpensa International Airport delays 142 flights and cancels 2 after operational breakdown

The airport recorded 142 delays and 2 cancellations, with routes to London, Paris, and Athens among the worst affected and knock-on disruption reaching long-haul connections. Several hundred travelers also needed overnight accommodation or medical assistance as airlines worked through the backlog late into the evening. Because the cause had not been confirmed, passenger eligibility for compensation under EC 261 remained unclear, but travelers may still have rights depending on what triggered the disruption.

Paris airports hit by 549 delays and 12 cancellations on 3 June

A major disruption across Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris Orly Airport, and Gustaf III Airport began on 3 June 2026, reaching 549 delays and 12 cancellations by midday. Air France, Ryanair, and EasyJet were among the airlines dealing with serious knock-on disruption, leaving thousands of passengers stuck in long lines or missing connections. The cause is still under investigation, and weather doesn't appear to explain the disruption, so it isn't yet clear whether compensation will apply. Even so, airlines should still provide care, rebooking or refunds where relevant, and overnight support if you're stranded. If you were affected, save your receipts and travel documents, and check your rights before you travel again.
