Avg delay
Calculated from Quiescence.eu flight tracking, measured on arrival, over all movements (departures + arrivals). “Delayed >5 min” is every movement that arrived late; “EU261 3 h+” is the subset that arrived three hours or more late — the compensation threshold; “Avg delay” is the mean arrival delay of the movements that arrived late. Indicative.
Each period shows the share of tracked movements that arrived more than 5 minutes late, the subset that arrived three hours or more late (EU261 compensation territory), and the share that was cancelled. Complete days only, up to yesterday; recalculated once a day in the late morning (Central European time).

Weather, warnings and strikes
What was happening at the airport that day, for information. It does not say why a flight was delayed, and it plays no part in our assessment of a claim.
If your flight from or to this airport arrived 3 hours or more late, was cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, or you were denied boarding, and the cause was the airline's responsibility, you may be owed between €250 and €600 — on top of a refund or a re-routing.
How much am I owed for a delayed flight at this airport?
Between €250 and €600 per passenger, depending on the flight distance, provided you reach your destination 3 hours or more late and the cause was the airline's responsibility. The calculator gives you an estimated figure.
What if the delay was caused by bad weather at the airport?
Severe weather is usually treated as an extraordinary circumstance, so there may be no compensation. Even so, you keep the right to care and to a refund, and it is worth checking.
Is this data official?
These are statistics we calculate from the flight information that airports and the data sources we credit publish, counting complete days only, up to yesterday. They are for guidance; to claim, keep your boarding pass and the airline's emails.
