Hamad International Airport (HIA), Qatar's primary airport located in Doha, has unveiled its expansion plans, enhancing the passenger experience and transforming the airport into an exceptional travel destination.
The country hopes that over 3.5 million passengers will be traveling through Qatar (arrivals, departures, transits) during November and December 2022, when the FIFA World Cup will be held. There are forecasts that Hamad International Airport could serve 34-36 million passengers in 2022, a figure that is about double that of 2021.
Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, stated: “We are very pleased to be launching the expansion of Hamad International Airport, an airport that has truly grown to become the ultimate example of a successful, sustainable global facility.”
“HIA continues to impress with its innovative planning, execution, and investment – enhancing its position as the preferred hub for global travelers and reinforcing HIA’s position amongst the top leaders of this industry.”
“The opening of our newly expanded terminal further connects the growing number of travelers to all corners of the world, enriching people’s experiences and proudly representing the State of Qatar’s rich culture and prestige.”
