The short answer

Was FR7424 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?

Ryanair flight FR7424 from Liverpool John Lennon to Poznań Ławica arrived 4h 7m late on September 8, 2026. That is past the three-hour mark in EU Regulation 261/2004. The route is 1,320 km. The statutory amount for this distance is €250 per passenger when the airline is responsible.

What else happened that day

UK air traffic control failure

On 8 September a fault in the NATS flight processing system restricted departures from UK airports for several hours. More than 1,000 flights to and from the UK were cancelled, and aircraft and crews were still out of position on 9 September.

Usually an extraordinary circumstance, so no EU 261 cash compensation. Airlines still owe meals, a hotel if you are stuck overnight, and the choice of a refund or a new flight. The airline still has to prove that this event caused the disruption to FR7424. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a strike by the airline’s own staff on the same day is not an extraordinary circumstance, and still pays out.

How FR7424's delay measures up

EU 261 counts the delay at the arrival gate, when the doors open, not at take-off or touchdown.
