Qatar will reopen Doha International Airport next week, ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2022 that is expected to draw more than a million visitors.
The Doha airport has been partially used since in 2014 by the nearby Hamad International Airport, which has since become a major hub in parallel with the growth of flag carrier Qatar Airways. Qatari authorities did not comment on the move from Hamad back to Doha airport, but Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways, the UAE’s flydubai, Oman’s SalamAir and Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines have begun selling tickets to Doha airport from 15 September.
Low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways said on its website that from next Thursday “all of our regular Doha flights will be temporarily moved to Doha International Airport”. In a message to passengers, the airline said the change was “following the instructions of Qatar Civil Aviation Authority” and would last until 30 December.
