Hamad International Airport Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
International airport in Doha, Qatar
About Hamad International Airport
The airport was built to succeed the earlier Doha International Airport in April 2014, which suffered from overcapacity following the huge expansion of state-owned carrier Qatar Airways in the 2000s. It is named after the third emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who transformed the country from what was once a sleepy desert backwater into a modern marvel and one of the richest countries in the world. More than 30 million passengers pass through its transit area each year. It consists of one big terminal building, with 5 concourses - A, B, C, D, and E - and two central plazas in the middle section to connect them. The southern plaza connects A and B to the southern end of C in a T-like fashion, and the northern plaza connects D and E to the northern end of C in a Y-like fashion.
