UK flight delay league — July 2026

Manchester → Antalya was the most disruption-prone route in this ranking in July 2026: 1.3% of its flights arrived 3 or more hours late and 9.6% were cancelled, across 217 flights in official UK CAA data.

Every UK route we track that met the sample-size floor in July 2026, ranked by how often its flights were hit by a compensation-relevant disruption.

HOW A ROUTE QUALIFIES

A route qualifies for a month once it clears our minimum tracked-flight count for its distance band. Months where a route fell short are simply absent — we do not interpolate. Full methodology →
