What the record says about this route
The cancellation rate for the period is 2.63%, but almost all of it belongs to one month: June 2025, when 8.33% of flights on this route did not operate. Outside that month the route cancelled at around 0%. Whatever happened in June was an event, not the normal state of this route.
The two directions do not behave alike. LGW to HAM arrives on time 8.5 points more often than the outbound. Delay accumulates through the flying day, so whichever direction is scheduled later tends to carry the worse record — which is an argument for booking the morning departure if the choice exists.
This is a late route. Flights from Hamburg to London miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.
Only easyJet flies this route in the published record, so there is no choice to weigh — the route's figures and the airline's are the same figures.

What these figures do and do not tell you
Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on HAM to LGW during January 2025 – August 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.
Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
