Method and limits
Twice a day, a script reads the departures of the last 12 hours at each watched airport from AeroDataBox airport data. A flight is kept if it was cancelled or left at least 3 hours after its scheduled time. We also count how many departures we read, so rates can be computed. Coverage is limited to these airports and to what the data provider reports; it is a sample, not a total for Europe, and a departure delay is not always the same as the arrival delay that EU261 uses.
