Red Sea International Airport’s Post

Hamad International Airport (DOH) announced that July 2024 has become the busiest month in its operational history, serving a remarkable 4.73 million passengers. This milestone represents a significant 10.2 percent increase compared to July of the previous year, solidifying the airport’s status as a leading global aviation hub. This surge in passenger numbers can be attributed to several key factors: The airport's airline partners have increased their flight frequencies to cater to the heightened demand during the summer travel season. Additionally, Qatar Airways, the national carrier, expanded its network of destinations and introduced seasonal summer operations, further enhancing the airport's connectivity. Total aircraft movement at Hamad International Airport in July increased by 3.9 per cent compared to the previous month. The load factor, which measures how full flights are, stood at 82.8 percent, indicating a high occupancy rate for flights operating at Hamad International Airport. This high load factor reflects the efficient utilisation of capacity. The previous record for the busiest month was set in January 2024, when Hamad International Airport served 4.5 million passengers. The top destinations in July were London, Bangkok, Dubai, Riyadh and Jeddah; whereas the top countries are India, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia and UAE. #qatar #HIA

#Saudi #Arabian #airport #management has historically prioritized #seamless operations and strong coordination within the airport environment. With the #shift towards #privatization, a new critical factor has emerged – airport #marketing. This involves promoting the airport's facilities and services to #airlines, travelers, and other key stakeholders to drive #revenue and economic growth. ▪️Let's focus on how airports can #market themselves to attract #new airlines and increase #flight #traffic. Airports can offer financial incentives such as waived landing fees or marketing #support. They should also work closely with #airline #route planners, sharing #data to identify new #opportunities. Perhaps most importantly, #airports must clearly communicate their strengths, whether it's prime location, modern facilities, excellent customer service, or efficient operations. Building strong relationships with airline #decision-makers through #events and #site visits is also #key. ▪️ #Successful #campaigns provide great inspiration – #Denver International Airport's "#Denver #Delivers" and #Amsterdam #Schiphol Airport's "#Schiphol #Connects" are #prime examples. Saudi Arabian airports like those in #Riyadh, #Jeddah, and #Dammam face unique challenges when attracting airlines. By adopting these marketing strategies, they can position themselves to achieve Saudi Arabia's ambitious goals for the aviation and #tourism sectors. ▪️With these tactics in mind, what other innovative solutions can Saudi airports explore to enhance their attractiveness to airlines?
