Hamad International Airport

Hamad International Airport started its operations in April 2014 opening a new era for the aviation sector in Qatar and for the Nation. One of the fastest growing economies in the world, Qatar is currently diversifying its economy away from hydrocarbons, boosting the country’s profile as a regional hub for tourism, culture, education, science and research. HIA is fully part of the equation and is actively contributing to Qatar National Vision 2030.

…was born a modern and ambitious airport….

HIA is a young and sophisticated airport that was built to welcome the world’s largest aircrafts, including the A380. HIA has welcomed 35.27 million passengers and recorded 222,321 aircraft movements in 2017. Currently the airport has the capacity to handle 8,700 passengers per hour, more than 30 million passengers a year and is undergoing further expansion to accommodate more than 50 million passengers. HIA’s goal is to be one of the most operationally efficient airports in the world putting the passenger at the heart of the airport’s strategy.

…situated in a strategic location…

HIA is strategically located at the crossroads of East and West sides of the globe, serving more than 150 destinations across all continents. Around 80% of the world’s population is within 6-hour flight from HIA, positioning the airport as the gateway to Qatar, the Gulf and to the world. 

…offering the ultimate passenger experience.

The state-of-the-art airport was designed as a destination on its own to provide the ultimate passenger experience for modern travellers. In line with its ‘Smart Airport’ Vision, HIA implemented cutting-edge technologies to secure a highly personalised, connected and hassle-free passenger experience from arrival and transfers, to boarding, achieving minimal and seamless connection time.

HIA has many services and facilities to make the passenger movements efficient and easier like the dual passenger train service that is designed to shuttle passengers across the terminal,138 check-in counters, 50 passport control counters and 40 e-gates. The airport has one of the best hospitality offering in the world with 12 different lounges spread across more than 80,000 square metres, befitting the five-star hospitality of Qatar Airways and the luxurious airport. HIA also features an airside hotel, two airside squash courts, a gym, a swimming pool and spa, all within moments of the departure gates.

HIA is home to the fastest growing airline…  

HIA is home of Qatar Airways, one of the fastest growing airlines in the world which now flies to more than 150 destinations worldwide, making Doha a global hub for business and leisure travel.

…and to a fast-growing & modern cargo transportation solution

HIA’s cargo facility is over two stories and covers 55,000 square meters. It is entirely self-contained, with 11 wide-body aircraft stands and 42 loading docks. It is highly automated and contains dedicated facilities for special categories of cargo such as live animals, dangerous goods, perishable goods or temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.

The new system is capable of simultaneously handling 5,700 shipments and up to 1.4 million tonnes of cargo annually.

... and is expanding! 

HIA has a highly passenger-centric expansion plan with a strong focus on increased capacity and additional facilities... HIA’s expansion plan goes hand-in-hand with the continuous growth of Qatar Airways and serves the ambition of the Nation positioning Qatar as a major player on the global market.

Our awards, testament to our excellence.

HIA has been recently classified as a five-star airport by Skytrax, making it one among only five other airports in the world to achieve this prestigious status. The airport is ranked fifth Best Airport in the World by the 2018 Skytrax World Airport Awards. HIA has also won the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ title for four years in a row and ‘Best Staff Service in the Middle East’ for three years in a row.

Volantio

Volantio is a global leader in post-booking revenue and capacity optimization software for airlines. Based in Atlanta, GA, Volantio partners with major airlines globally such as Qantas, Iberia, Alaska Airlines, Volaris, and others.

Yana, Volantio’s flagship web-based platform, leverages machine learning algorithms to drive higher unit revenues and improved capacity utilization after customers have booked their flights, while also improving overall customer experience.

Airlines use the technology to proactively identify flexible passengers on target flights, make them offers to move to lower demand flights, and automatically re-book them once they accept. Passengers are notified, via mobile, days in advance of departure, minimizing last-minute hassle and providing enough time to change plans accordingly.

The Yana platform also provides a significantly improved customer experience for passengers on the day of departure, when weather disruptions, aircraft swaps, oversell situations, or irregular operations may impact customers. Airlines as well can save significant resources, and decrease front-line stress, by automating these processes.

Volantio has been backed by leading strategic and industry investors globally, including JetBlue Technology Ventures, International Airlines Group, and Qantas Ventures.
