DALLAS – With the FIFA World Cup ready to kick off in 52 days, Qatar reopened the older Doha International Airport (DIA) earlier this month to cater to the excess demand that will last during the tournament season.
The airport sits just west of the newer Hamad International airport (DOH), which took over duties in 2014. DIA completely stopped commercial flight operations and only served executive and business flights since then.
Well, the World Cup rush is just too much for just DOH to handle, and the former airport is ready to lend out a helping hand.
