New Doha International Airport - NDIA 3D Images
This new airport will play a very important role in the development of the aviation sector in Qatar and will be an ideal base for Qatar Airways and other international airlines. New Doha International Airport (NDIA) is slated to replace the old Doha International Airport as Qatar's only international airport in 2011.
The airport complex will comprise a 75-metre high control tower located between the parallel runways, multi-storey office building, parking and access roads. Triangular in shape with one angle cut by a crescent shape all along its height, the structure will be topped by a glazed cabin.
The new airport will be managed by Qatar Airways, and will be the world's first to be designed and built specifically for Airbus's new A380-800 double-decker super jumbo – the largest passenger aircraft ever built. The A380 will be capable of carrying more than 550 passengers, with Qatar Airways a launch customer taking delivery of the first of its four A380s in 2009, the year the new airport opens.
