The Hamad International Airport is a candidate for the “World’s Best Airport 2019” awards by Skytrax. The Skytrax World Airport Awards is the most prestigious accolade for the airport industry, voted by customers in the largest annual global airport customer satisfaction survey.

Earlier this year, HIA had been ranked the 5th Best Airport in the World at the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2018. The airport has been recognised for its innovative facilities, five-star customer service and state-of-the-art terminal which can accommodate more than 30 million passengers annually, and described as the most architecturally significant terminal complex in the world.

Skytrax has also recognised HIA’s best-in-class service by presenting it with the ‘five-star’ airport status, which made HIA the only airport with this classification in the Middle East. HIA has also won the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ title for four years in a row and ‘Best Staff Service in the Middle East’ for three years in a row.

Our investment in cutting-edge technology, unique hospitality and vast retail offerings, as well as our outstanding art collection, have shaped our airport as a distinct icon for both Qatar and the rest of the world. As Skytrax Awards acknowledge the pioneers in the airport industry, we look forward to maintaining HIA’s position among the Best Airports in the World in 2019 and beyond.”
