The opening of the New Doha International Airport to passenger traffic has officially been delayed until the the second half of next year, Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker told the Moodie Report in a recent interview.

Al Baker, who is in charge of the development of the airport, attributed the new delay to the parting of ways between QA and one of the project’s key contractors.

No 12/12/12 grand opening, after all!

Britex or FS is right?

A pity no opening of NDIA on 12.12.12 - such a rare number, would have been a historic day for some major event.

So, does Doha News just take articles from other papers and publish them or do you write your own articles ?
