The short answer
Was FR5887 delayed long enough for UK 261 compensation?
Ryanair flight FR5887 from Norwich International Airport to Alicante arrived about three hours late on 13 October 2026, going by reported arrival times. That is right at the three-hour mark in UK Regulation 261/2004, which counts the delay until the doors open, so the exact gate time decides it. The route is 1,607 km. If it clears three hours, the statutory amount for this distance is £350 per passenger when the airline is responsible.
