Hamad International Airport welcomed more than 5 million passengers in August 2025, the highest figure the airport has recorded in a single month since its opening. Passenger traffic rose by 6.4% compared with the same month last year, while the number of direct passengers reached 1.3 million, an annual increase of 12%.
This growth reflects increased demand for direct travel to Qatar and the role of the aviation sector in supporting economic activity, and it comes after Airports Council International included the airport in its list of the world's busiest international airports for 2025, according to a post on the Hamad International Airport website.
The airport's recent expansion and airline partnerships contributed to this rise, with Qatar Airways increasing its flights to more than 15 destinations, Virgin Australia launching new flights to Doha, and Philippine Airlines and Air Arabia raising their operating capacity.
