The short answer

Was QR40 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?

Qatar Airways flight QR40 from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Doha International Airport arrived about three hours late on 12 October 2026, going by reported arrival times. That is right at the three-hour mark in EU Regulation 261/2004, which counts the delay until the doors open, so the exact gate time decides it. The route is 4,969 km. If it clears three hours, the statutory amount for this distance is €300 per passenger when the airline is responsible.
