In an interview by Times of Oman, Dersenish Aresandiran answered questions on Qatar Airways’ preparation for the World Cup.

Q: How has Qatar Airways prepared for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022? How will the airport handle the huge influx of passengers?

A: 
Qatar is expecting to welcome around 1.5 million visitors during the FIFA World Cup 2022. To cater to the influx of fans arriving in Doha this November, Hamad International Airport has switched its operating model from hub-and-spoke to point-to-point that will allow even distribution of flights and passenger traffic across the day.

Furthermore, the upcoming Hamad International Airport expansion will link the North Node to the new central concourse and will increase the terminal’s handling capacity to more than 58 million passengers and will span across a total of 240,000sqm. These enhancements will ensure that both the award-winning airline and airport are in synergy and will allow for seamless travel experiences during the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Additionally, the Doha International Airport has been made operational and will be welcoming more than 150 daily Match Day Shuttle flights from the GCC countries including Oman. We are fully geared up to fly in global fans to witness the greatest sporting show in the world. Whether through travel, sport, music, or innovation, we are dedicated to connecting fans and uniting the world in Qatar for what will be a truly unforgettable experience.
