No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Qatar Airways didn't honour its scheduled times for your Venice - Doha flight, the law is on your side.
Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 4 150 km, Qatar Airways is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.
Why are you entitled to 600 €?
The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

- Departure airport: Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
- Arrival airport: Doha International Airport (DOH)
- Flight distance: 4 150 km (~5h11)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
Contrary to what {many think|Qatar Airways might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

Whether your Qatar Airways flight Venice-Doha was delayed or boarding was denied, the 600€ compensation may apply for each case.

-

The impact of a strike on your Qatar Airways compensation
A work stoppage by Qatar Airways's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 600€.
A strike by ATC services at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport or European ATC is an external cause over which Qatar Airways has no control.
What are your rights at Venice airport in case of prolonged wait?
An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 600€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Qatar Airways is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.

The irony: the longer Qatar Airways stalls paying your 600€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.
