Loganair delay compensation: check your flight against the record
Loganair is a UK carrier. Flights out of the UK are covered by UK261 whatever the destination, and flights into the UK are covered too, from anywhere in the world.
Enter the flight number and date. We pull the actual arrival time, the Eurocontrol air-traffic delay logged at both airports that day and the airport weather, then tell you whether Loganair owes you £220, £350 or £520 per passenger and how strong the airline's likely defence is.

What to know about claiming from Loganair
- Loganair is a UK carrier flying UK domestic and island routes, all under 1,500 km, so every eligible claim is £220. Weather is genuinely extraordinary more often on Highlands and Islands routes than anywhere else in the UK; the METAR record in the check matters here.
- Scottish claims: the limitation period is 5 years, and the small claims route is the Simple Procedure in the Sheriff Court.
If Loganair refuses or does not answer within 8 weeks: This airline is not on the CAA's list of airlines signed up to an ADR scheme, so for a UK flight the CAA's Passenger Advice and Complaints Team (PACT) is the free route. PACT can take the complaint up with the airline but, unlike an ADR scheme, cannot make a binding decision. The small claims court remains open.

Our £4.99 letter adds the verified flight record and the day's delay and weather evidence, which is what you will need if Loganair replies with “extraordinary circumstances”. Claims firms charge 35% to 50% of the payout for the same claim.
Loganair compensation questions

Loganair cancelled my Kirkwall flight for fog. Is that extraordinary?
Fog that closed the airport or brought visibility below operating minima is an extraordinary circumstance and no compensation is due for it, though you are still owed care and a refund or re-routing. The airport METAR record shows the visibility at the time.
