Qatar reopens Doha airport to ease World Cup traffic

DOHA: Qatar will reopen the mothballed Doha International Airport next week, airlines said on Wednesday, ahead of the 2022 World Cup that is expected to draw more than a million visitors.

The Doha airport has been in semi-retirement since it was replaced in 2014 by the nearby Hamad International Airport, which has since become a major hub in parallel with the growth of flag carrier Qatar Airways.
