Doha's old airport, retired for commercial flights

Doha International Airport (DIA) was Qatar's main civil airport until April 2014, when scheduled operations transferred to Hamad International (DOH) about 5 km away. The site continues to serve royal, military, cargo and private aviation, but no longer handles scheduled passenger flights. Travellers searching DIA should book DOH instead for any commercial itinerary.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still fly from Doha International Airport (DIA)?
No. DIA closed to scheduled commercial traffic in April 2014, when all passenger flights moved to Hamad International (DOH). The old airport now handles state, military and private aviation only. For any standard trip you should search DOH on Flightmussy to see live availability and fares.
What is the difference between DIA and DOH?
DIA is the legacy Doha International Airport, retired for scheduled flights. DOH is Hamad International, opened in 2014 and now Qatar's only commercial airport. Both lie in eastern Doha, about 5 km apart. Always book DOH; some older systems still list DIA, which Flightmussy automatically reroutes.
Why does DIA still appear in some booking systems?
Legacy GDS data and a few older travel sites kept DIA as a selectable code even after closure. Real scheduled flights are not loaded against it. Flightmussy treats DIA as an alias for DOH so your free search returns Qatar Airways, flydubai and other live Doha fares.
What is the IATA code for Doha?
The active IATA code for Doha is DOH (Hamad International). The retired code DIA is no longer used for commercial bookings. When searching Flightmussy use DOH to see Qatar Airways, Emirates, flydubai and other carriers, with the 12-month heatmap highlighting the cheapest weeks.
