Qatar’s new state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport is expected to begin passenger operations at the end of this month, according to a report from Doha News.

Doha International Airport (DIA) confirmed the move saying that more information would be available later today or on Sunday.

“Kindly be advised with effect from 11am onwards on 30th April 2014 all your flights in Doha will be landing at the new Hamad International Airport.”

Apparently budget carriers will be the first to operate out of HIA, according to a circular issued to 10 airlines yesterday by Qatar’s Civil Aviation Authority. The note, which has been passed around on Facebook, reads:

It is addressed to managers at the following airlines:

  • Biman Bangladesh Airlines
  • Fly Dubai
  • Air Arabia
  • Iran Air
  • Air India Express
  • Yemenia Yemen Airlines
  • Pakistan International Airlines
  • Nepal Airlines
  • Syrian Airlines
  • Pegasus Airlines

This means starting April 30, the public should be able to check out the $ 6.8 million giant teddy bear that is on display at Hamad International Airport, thanks to Qatar Museum Authority.
