NewsServing more than 50 million passengers in a rolling 12-month period for the first time in its history, Hamad International Airport (DOH) is pleased to celebrate a noteworthy accomplishment. In the tenth year of the airport's existence, this incredible accomplishment reflects the airport's expansion and strategic positioning as an essential hub for international aviation.
25% of passenger operations at the Qatar-based facility are point-to-point. This might be ascribed to the fact that Doha is becoming a more popular tourist destination. According to a tourism report by Qatar Tourism, the number of foreign visitors to the city climbed by 58% in 2023 compared to the previous year.
Three new airline partners arrived at Hamad International Airport in 2023, and four more partners joined in the first four months of 2024. In 2023, the airport provided services to 255 locations, including those for passengers, cargo, and chartered flights, therefore improving its connectivity and range of services.
Doha has the second-best air connection in the Middle East, according to the newly released Airport Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific and Middle East Air connection Ranking 2023. The quantity, frequency, and quality of connections all contribute to the ranking of air connectivity.
The airport's accomplishments and steady expansion are evidence of its commitment to quality and innovation in the aviation sector.
