Facilities
[edit]
Terminal 1[edit]
Concourse A has 10 passenger gates connected to jet bridges and is located west of the check-in area and Main Terminal. Two of the gates are designed to accommodate the Airbus A380.
Concourse B has 10 passenger gates connected to jet bridges and is located east of the check-in area. It opened on April 30, 2014, with 10 airlines transferring operations over from Doha International Airport. Two of the gates are built to accommodate the Airbus A380. There is a small coffee shop located at the end of Concourse B, as well as smoking rooms, family areas, and an express duty-free store.
Concourse C has 24 passenger gates connected to jet bridges, two of them built specifically for the Airbus A380. There are 44 remote gates without a fixed jet bridge link connected to Concourse C. This Concourse has opened on 27 May 2014. Gates from the former Concourses D and E were incorporated in to Concourse C in 2021 in preparation for the expansion of Concourses D and E.
Concourses D and E were opened in March 2025 and plans for a possible Concourse F are still to be finalised. Terminal 1 features First (called Al Safwa First Class Lounge) and Business Class (called Al Mourjan Business Class Lounge) lounges, which were opened by Qatar Airways CEO, Akbar Al Baker, on 20 June 2014. Since 2016, a cable-drawn Cable Liner has connected Halls A and B over a distance of around 500 m (1,600 ft) indoors with Halls D and E, with availability 24 hours a day.
Lamp Bear[edit]
The most prominent figure inside the airport is a giant bronze statue of a teddy bear with its head in a lamp. The untitled sculpture, often known as "Lamp Bear", is one of three creations by Swiss artist Urs Fischer and is on display at the grand foyer of the airport's duty-free shopping hall. Standing at seven meters tall and weighing approximately 18-20 tons, the statue was previously displayed at the Seagram Building's plaza in New York City before being purchased by a member of the Qatari royal family at a Christie's auction for US$6.8 million.
In 2018, the airport added a new sculpture in their terminal, called Small Lie by American artist Kaws, which was a donation from Qatar Museums.
Expansion[edit]
The airport handled 34.5 million passengers in 2018 and this is expected to rise to 53 million by 2020. So there were plans to expand the terminal to accommodate the increased passengers' numbers of the FIFA 2022 World Cup, and to keep up with Qatar Airways' continued passenger growth.
As phase A, a new central concourse located in the triangle area between the existing Concourse's D & E with 9 stands for wide-body aircraft, a 10,000-square-metre (110,000 sq ft) tropical garden known as "The Orchard" and a 268-meter (879 ft) tall water feature opened on 10 November 2023, bearing extreme similarities to the Singapore Changi Airport's Jewel structure which was designed and built four years prior. The project adds 11,720 square metres (126,200 sq ft) of retail and F&B space, and an expanded transfer area. A new Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Class 'The Garden Lounge' occupies the mezzanine level, covering 9,000 square metres (97,000 sq ft).
The phase B expansion extended the D and E concourses and increased the passenger capacity of the airport to more than 70 million passengers a year. Construction on Phase B expansion commenced in January 2023. The phase B expansion was completed in March 2025.
Runways[edit]
The airport has two parallel runways, located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from each other, which are designed for simultaneous take-offs and landings. The first is 4,850 m × 60 m (15,910 ft × 200 ft) and is considered to be the longest runway in Western Asia, and also one of the longest runways in the world.[citation needed] The second runway is 4,250 m × 60 m (13,940 ft × 200 ft).
Mosque[edit]
Completed in c. 2017, the Hamad International Airport Mosque is located outside the passenger terminal, within walking distance from the Departures Hall. The mosque's unique 5,000-square-metre (54,000 sq ft) mushroom-domed aluminium and glass-panelled ceiling was inspired by the shape of a water droplet. A minaret is located adjacent to the mosque. The airport also has an additional sixteen prayer rooms.
