London City to Edinburgh flight delays & compensation

London City to Edinburgh carried too few flights in the June 2026 UK CAA release to meet our minimum sample size, so no delay rate is published for it this month. Its last full month was April 2026.

Below our sample-size floor in June 2026

We only publish a delay rate once a route clears a minimum number of tracked flights for the month — a percentage drawn from a handful of departures is noise, not a statistic. If this route picks back up, its figures return automatically at the next refresh. How we calculate these figures →

Estimated compensation

It depends

Your flight is covered by UK261 and the delay is long enough to qualify — but whether you’re actually owed money depends on the cause.
If the delay was the airline’s fault (for example a technical or crew problem), you could be owed around £220. If it was caused by extraordinary circumstances like extreme weather or an air-traffic-control strike, no compensation would be due.
Ask the airline for the specific reason in writing, then check your claim.

You usually have up to 6 years to claim in England, Wales & Northern Ireland (5 years in Scotland). This is for information — it does not affect the estimate above.
