Over the seven days to 21 October 2026, 72.5% of departures and 76.9% of arrivals were within 15 minutes, 2 points better than the year to date. 94.8% of scheduled flights have operated this year, the remainder cancelled or never filed. Air traffic flow management delay charged to the airport, the minutes the network held flights on the ground elsewhere to protect it, averaged 0.6 per arrival this year and 0.2 over the last week. These are whole-airport figures from EUROCONTROL's Network Manager, published daily and refreshed here with each build; the long-haul bank usually runs a little better than the airport average because wide-body schedules carry more slack.

Every departure from Frankfurt is covered by Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline operates it: a flight arriving in the United States three hours or more late for a reason within the airline's control owes each passenger €600 on these distances, halved if the arrival was under four hours late, plus care and rebooking. Flights back from the United States are covered only on EU carriers.
