Jet2 at Birmingham: how often flights are 3+ hours late or cancelled

Of 15,734 scheduled Jet2 flights to and from Birmingham in 2025, 0.7% (95% range 0.57%–0.83%) were cancelled (31) or at least 3 hours late (about 78). Other airlines at Birmingham: 1.7%; the 95% ranges do not overlap, so the difference is unlikely to be chance. Jet2 at all UK airports: 0.8%.

Caveats

This is an upper estimate of flights where compensation may be due. Weather, air traffic control, strikes by third parties and security problems are “extraordinary circumstances” and give no right to compensation; cancellations announced 14 days or more ahead do not either.
The CAA measures delay at the UK airport (departure or arrival). The legal test is the delay on arrival at the final destination.
Flights in both directions are combined. For flights from an EU airport, EU261 applies when the airline is an EU airline (€250 / €400 / €600), UK261 when it is a UK airline.
