Doha’s main airport, Hamad International Airport (DOH) —which was originally called “New Doha International Airport” during construction—is already open and has been fully operational since 2014. It began passenger operations on 30 April 2014 with a limited number of airlines, and all remaining airlines (including Qatar Airways) shifted there on 27 May 2014.

The older Doha International Airport (DIA) closed to regular commercial traffic in 2014 when all flights moved to Hamad International. It was temporarily reopened in late 2022 to handle overflow traffic for the FIFA World Cup, hosting certain airlines for the duration of the tournament, and then closed again to passenger flights shortly after the event.

As of now (early 2026):

  • There is no announced future “opening” date for Doha’s main airport, because Hamad International Airport is already open and operating as Qatar’s primary international hub.
  • The old Doha International Airport has no publicly announced plan to reopen permanently for regular commercial traffic; its last significant reopening was temporary for the 2022 World Cup.

If your question is about current disruptions: Qatar Airways has stated that it will resume operations once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority reopens Qatari airspace , with an update promised on 2 March 2026, but this relates to airspace closure, not the airport itself being closed long-term.

In short: Doha’s main airport (Hamad International) is already open; there is no new opening date pending, only temporary operational adjustments tied to airspace status.
