Offering a wide range of services and facilities to its passengers, Hamad International Airport underwent a major expansion in November 2022, which saw the addition of a brand-new, state-of-the-art indoor tropical garden known as the ORCHARD – along with new lounges and exclusive retail and F&B outlets. As part of its digital transformation strategy, the airport has constantly invested in the latest technologies and innovative solutions set to optimize operations and provide a seamless and enhanced airport journey for passengers. Most recently, the airport introduced innovative digital wayfinding using QR codes and other advanced features to help manage crowds and ease travel.

Inaugurated in 2014, Hamad International Airport constantly embraces growth and innovation – achieving multiple accolades and awards in the process. An essential hub between East and West, the global airport continues to be ranked amongst the best facilities in the world.
