Old Doha International Airport used to welcome thousands of passengers in the past, but after the launching of new HBK airport, the old venue is presenting a deserted and empty look.

What should be the best usage of this historical venue, suggest something that could add value to the modern city of Doha.

When the Dammam airport was opened, the old airport at AlKhobar was handed to the Air Force for their use.

Did the old airport leak? perhaps they could use it on rainy days.

Brit, good idea, the building can be easily utilized for many mega malls owing to its hall type structure and of course huge parking facility. On top of it, it is location and proximity both can contribute towards its success from the start.
