Hamad International Airport (DOH) recorded a stable performance in the first half of 2025, demonstrating operational resilience and agility.
\nThis was supported by a rise in point-to-point travel to Doha, reflected by 2.3 percent increase in passenger traffic between January to June 2025.
\nThe overall traffic remained steady with marginal fluctuations compared to the same period of 2024\u2019s leap year.
\nHamad International Airport served a total of 25.9 million passengers (-0.45 percent year-on- year), 1.2 million tonnes of cargo (-1.68 percent Y-o-Y), and over 136,000 aircraft movements (-1.71 percent Y-o-Y) in the first half of 2025.
\nThese figures align with broader regional operating trends, and the surge in passenger traffic to Doha reaffirms its growing appeal as a tourism and business destination.
\nWhile numbers held steady, Hamad International Airport continued to focus on elevating the quality of each passenger\u2019s experience.
\nCentral to this was the recent airport expansion and the introduction of Concourses D and E, which increased the boarding bridges by 40% through 17 new contact gates equipped with self-boarding systems.
\nThese upgrades reduced 350,000 bussing journeys and enabled smoother, more direct passenger movement from terminal to aircraft.
\nHamad International Airport\u2019s expansive terminal, integrates inclusive, passenger-focused features like hearing loops, barrier-free pathways, spacious seating areas, and dedicated assistance services like designated family lanes and e-gates for passengers with disabilities, supporting a more accessible and thoughtful travel experience.
