After spending months anticipating a holiday, a week spent packing and doing last minute admin, and several stressful hours going through check-in and security at the airport, the very last thing you want to hear is that your flight has been axed. Cancelled flights are far more common in some UK airports than others. And now, flight compensation site AirAdvisor has looked at data from the Civil Aviation Authority to reveal the cancellation rates across 20 of the UK's biggest airports in 2025. It also compared it to their rates in 2024 to figure out where cancellations are easing, and where they're getting worse.
