Hamad International Airport (HIA), Qatar’s five-star airport, enhanced its current sponsorship of the legendary German football club FC Bayern München as Platinum sponsor. The latest FC Bayern jersey featuring HIA-Qatar’s distinctive logo on the sleeve of the team’s iconic shirts was revealed.
HIA-Qatar and FC Bayern München also launched their latest promotional video, which showcases HIA’s award-winning facilities and services as experienced first-hand by the football stars. The video features global football champions Arjen Robben and Robert Lewandowski and will be played both in the airport and on board Qatar Airway’s flights. HIA-Qatar’s state-of-the-art airport also recently announced an eight per cent increase in passenger numbers and an impressive 19 per cent increase in cargo handling from January to June 2017, compared to the same period in the previous year. Other significant milestones achieved in 2017 include being ranked as a five-star airport by Skytrax, making it one among only five other airports in the world to achieve this prestigious status. Earlier this year, it was ranked Sixth Best Airport in the World by the 2017 Skytrax World Airport Awards, moving up four places from 2016. HIA has also won the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ title for three years in a row and ‘Best Staff Service in the Middle East’ for two years in a row.
