11 May 2006
Qatar Airways is to open a new first-class only terminal in Doha.
As a part of the £110m upgrade of Doha International Airport the new terminal for business class and first class passengers only will include a spa, jacuzzi and sauna.
Other facilities include massage treatments, free internet access, children's play facilities and a 1,000 sq metre duty-free shopping area.
Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said: 'The new terminal for premium passengers will be a big boost for Qatar Airways. It is the first of its kind, not only in the Middle East, but anywhere in the world.
'The terminal is designed to create an inviting ambience one of allowing passengers to relax, unwind and enjoy the excellent facilities.'
The new Qatar terminal will open later this year and should be ready for the Asian Games that take place in Doha in December.
Qatar has recently joined Dubai and Bahrain in one of the biggest growth areas in tourism; the Middle East.
The emirate offers beaches and islands with year-long sun and a rich cultural heritage having been controlled by Persians, Ottomans and British in its history, who all left their mark.
