The media concentration on security in Paris seems to overlook an important consideration, given the extent of the Tunisian contribution to Daish/ISIL - which exceeds that of any other country.
Scheduled timings (gate-to-gate) for SU-GCC's rotations were:

MS843 DEP CAI 08:15L 06:15Z
MS843 ARR TUN 10:35L 09:35Z

MS844 DEP TUN 11:35L 10:35Z
MS844 ARR CAI 15:40L 13:40Z

According to FlightRadar24, it spent 1 hour 20 minutes on the ground at Tunis (09:33Z to 10:53Z), which is broadly consistent with the schedule, though bear in mind that the 1:20 includes taxi in/out as FR24's timings are for landing and takeoff (though it refers to them as ATA/ATD).
