Hamad International Airport

Hamad International Airport is located on mainly reclaimed land approximately four kilometres from the existing Doha International Airport. The main goal was to build an international aviation hub of highest standards.

Up to 360,000 aircrafts per year can be handled at HIA. The eastern runway is 4850 m long, is the 7th longest commercial runway in the world, and is supported by the western runway with a total length of 4250 m.

HIA in its first phase is capable of providing services to 24 million passengers and 750,000 tonnes of cargo a year. Whilst the second phase expansion at the airport will double the capacity to 48 million passengers and 2,500,000 tonnes of cargo a year.

The passenger terminal complex, at 590,000 m2, is currently the largest building in Doha. This area has 138 check-in counters and 11,533 m2 of retail facilities with an unprecedented selection of brands from around the world catering for a whole variety of customers.

HIA is home to the largest aircraft hangar in the world at a total of 150,000 m2. The hanger located in the HIA midfield area has a clearance height of 45m and will be the central maintenance hub for Qatar Airways’ international fleet. The clear spun spatial arrangement of the hangar will allow up to 13 aircrafts at one time to be accommodated, including Airbus A380s, A330s, A350s, A340s, A320 family, Boeing 777s and the newest of the Qatar Airways fleet, the Boeing 787.
