Eurocontrol attributes air-traffic delay to Naples on the days it happens, with the cause.

Days with nothing logged are a strong point for any passenger whose flight was late for another reason.

Questions

Is a delay at Naples caused by weather always an extraordinary circumstance?

No. The airline must show that the weather actually affected your flight and that it took all reasonable measures. Eurocontrol logs weather delay at Naples on specific days; if your day is not one of them, the weather defence has nothing behind it. If it is, the airline still has to connect it to your flight.

How do I find out if my Naples flight was delayed 3 hours?

Enter the flight number and date in the checker above. It pulls the recorded arrival time, works out the delay against the schedule, and shows what Eurocontrol and the airport weather logged for Naples that day.

Which airlines' passengers can claim after a Naples delay?

Any airline departing Naples is covered by EU261 regardless of nationality. Arrivals are covered when the airline is a UK or EU carrier.
