FR 26 (FR26) is sold by Ryanair. On a codeshare another airline may operate the flight, and the operating airline determines which rules apply.

FR26 leaves Palma in Spain, so EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU261) may apply whichever airline you fly with. As it lands in the UK, UK261 may also apply if the operating airline is a UK or EU airline.

You may get flight delay compensation (3+ hours late) or cancelled flight compensation, unless the cause was extraordinary.

With about 1,385 km between PMI and STN (short-haul (up to 1,500 km)), compensation may be €250 (EU261), or £220 if UK261 applies, if you are entitled to it. All amounts

Does EU261 apply to Ryanair flight FR 26?

Yes, EU261 may apply, as FR26 departs from Spain. UK261 may also apply if the operating airline is a UK or EU airline.

Who operates Ryanair flight FR 26?

In our data, Ryanair is the airline selling FR26. Who actually operates the flight is shown on your ticket or booking confirmation.

Was FR 26 part of a connecting flight? How is compensation calculated?

Your booking shows this, not the flight number. If FR26 was part of a connecting journey on one booking, distance is counted from the first departure airport to the final destination, and the delay is counted on arrival at the final destination. The distance band (short-, medium- or long-haul) follows that distance and may then differ from this leg (€250 (EU261), or £220 if UK261 applies).
