Are you wondering what happens when a Qatar flight gets delayed? Flights can be delayed due to various reasons like rough weather conditions, medical emergencies, technical issues in the plane, etc. According to US laws, every Qatar flight departing to or from the US will have to provide the travelers a Qatar Flight Delayed Compensation for their loss. This rule also applies to other airlines landing or departing from US. In order to recieve this compensation the flight has to be delayed for at least 3 hours or more. For circumstances beyond the limit of the Airlines, the airlines is not liable to pay any compensation.
