The short answer

Was W43989 delayed long enough for EU 261 compensation?

Wizz Air flight W43989 from Chișinău to Rome Fiumicino 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 1,441 km. If it clears three hours, the statutory amount for this distance is €250 per passenger when the airline is responsible.
