Preliminary Comments[edit]

The airport is much better now with the facelift - it feels like an ultra-modern uber-cool airport with good selection of restaurants and duty free. Easier on your legs than Duabi!

I thought the facelift isn't finished yet.--Ahmed 00:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the description is very subjective, and in my option, unfair. i had no problems the two times i visited a few months ago. it's small, but plenty of seats. it's not a very cleverly designed aiport but it does work. and importantly - the a/c works very well. more useful info might be that they except money notes in GBP/USD/EUR but only give change in local currency (useless if in transit). -- ~~

QR to JFK and IAD[edit]

OAG lists these flights as starting at the end of March; however, the airline doesn't have them listed on its own timetables, nor is it possible to buy tickets. There is a lag between the publication date of schedules and when they appear on OAG. It's possible that QR is delaying the start date and OAG's timetables haven't caught up yet.

Public Transport[edit]

Someone has created an article called Transport in Qatar which covers things such as the state-owned taxi, bus, coach and limousine services, as well as other items. That article could do with further improvements (references in particular) so I'm posting this here in case editors visiting here are also interested in improving coverage on Qatar in general.

Runway lenght[edit]

The runway lenght is 4600 or 3800m? There is a discrepancy between the statements in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.250.59.21 (talk) 00:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Airport Status[edit]

We know for sure that this airfield will eventually be shut to make way for a residential project. We know that scheduled commercial operations have moved to Hamad International. But there is currently no information to show that the airfield is defunct as it is still being used by the military and for some VIP traffic. Hence I've put back the ICAO code in the lede and the Infobox, and clarified a sentence in the lede. I propose we keep it this way until we have a notable source that says the airfield is shut for all air traffic. Trinidade (talk) 07:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
