Doha Airport, officially Hamad International Airport (DOH), is Qatar's main international gateway and the home base of Qatar Airways. It sits on the eastern edge of Doha, beside the Arabian Gulf. One passenger terminal, with five concourses lettered A to E, handles every flight. Qatar has no domestic scheduled flights, so all services here are international.

For Malaysian travellers, Doha can be a destination in its own right or a stop on a longer journey. The older Doha International Airport, about 5 km to the west, is no longer where scheduled airlines fly from, so Hamad is the airport on your ticket.

Terminal and airlines at Hamad International Airport

Hamad International Airport passenger terminal

All airlines use the same passenger terminal. Check-in is in the Departures Hall, and the Arrivals Hall is where you will find the taxi, bus and telecom booths. The departure gates are spread across concourses A to E.

Temporary operating arrangements

Flights at Doha were suspended for a period and have since resumed through a dedicated flight corridor agreed with the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority. This is a temporary arrangement. Airline partners are returning gradually, and schedules may be adjusted or cancelled at short notice. For now, only passengers with a confirmed ticket can enter the terminal. Check your booking and your airline's updates before you travel.
