Doha, Qatar: Hamad International Airport (DOH) has crossed a record-breaking milestone this August, serving over five million passengers in a single month for the first time in its history.
The Airport issued a statement on its website saying that this surge was achieved while maintaining the quality of every passenger’s journey, showcasing the airport as a bustling and rapidly growing hub that is resilient and steadfastly passenger centric.
Hamad International Airport’s performance in August 2025 represents a 6.4 % increase in passenger traffic compared to August 2024. Of the 5 million passengers, 1.3 million were point-to-point travellers, marking a 12% year-on-year growth in this category. This highlights the rising demand for direct travel from/to Qatar and showcases the strength of aviation as a key driver of the national diverse economy.
The achievement for Qatar’s award-winning airport comes shortly after the release of the 2025 World Airport Traffic Dataset by Airports Council International (ACI) World, ranking the airport firmly among the world's busiest international airports.
