Qatar Airways Compensation for Delayed Flight
Has a Qatar Airways flight delay disrupted your travel plans? Under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, you may be entitled to up to €600 per passenger in compensation. However, because Qatar Airways is not a European airline, this regulation applies only to flights that depart from an EU airport. Below, you’ll find when Qatar Airways compensation for delayed flight applies, how much you can receive, and the steps to claim it successfully.

When can you claim Qatar Airways compensation for delayed flight?
To be eligible for Qatar Airways delayed flight compensation, the following conditions must all be met:
The flight departed from an airport within the European Union
The flight arrived at the final destination with a delay of at least 3 hours
The delay was not caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather, air traffic control strikes, government restrictions)
The delay occurred due to internal issues of the airline (e.g., technical faults, staff shortages)
If your flight departed from outside the European Union and only arrived at an EU airport, you are not entitled to compensation, since Qatar Airways is not a European airline.
How much compensation can you receive?
The compensation amount for a delayed Qatar Airways flight depends on the total flight distance:
€250
Compensation per passenger
Less than 1,500 km
€400
Compensation per passenger
Between 1,500 and 3,500 km
€600
Compensation per passenger
Over 3,500 km
Practical Example
If your Qatar Airways flight from Paris to Doha (approx. 4,900 km) departed from the EU and you arrived more than 3 hours late, you are entitled to €600 in compensation, provided there were no extraordinary circumstances.

Additional rights for delayed flights
Even if compensation for delayed Qatar Airways flights doesn’t apply in all cases, the airline is still required to provide certain services if the flight departed from the European Union:
Meals and drinks
Proportional to the waiting time.
Access to communication
Two phone calls, faxes, or emails.
Accommodation and transport
If the delay requires an overnight stay, HiSky must provide accommodation.
Rerouting to the final destination
Or full ticket refund if the delay is significant.
Ticket refund
If the delay exceeds 5 hours and you choose not to travel.
These rights apply for delays of at least 2 hours, even though financial compensation is only granted for delays of more than 3 hours.
