Doha’s new Hamad International Airport is preparing to become the luxurious and highly efficient gateway to Qatar and the rest of the world. However, at the moment, the 590,000 square metre, 30 million passenger-capacity building is still under wraps. But you can take a sneak preview inside if you come to ACI Airport Exchange in November, where H.E. Akbar Al Baker, CEO Qatar Airways and Doha International Airport, will also give a keynote address.
