iniBuilds recently announced the development of Doha Hamad International Airport (OTHH) for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the busiest airport in Qatar with a yearly average of 36 million passengers.

Opened in 2014, it replaces Doha International Airport as Qatar's main airport. Built on 22 square kilometers of land, it can handle 320,000 aircraft movements and 2 million tonnes of cargo per year. DOH is the first Middle Eastern airport to get Skytrax's World Best Airport award (2021 and 2022), ending a nearly decade-long streak of Singapore's Changi.

It's the hub for Qatar Airways, with a route network that covers most of the globe, from their next-door neighbors of Abu Dhabi to San Francisco. Such high coverage makes it so other carriers don't have much of a financially logical reason to fly to Doha, but there are still a couple of them, such as Air Canada, Air India, British Airways, Conviasa, Finnair, and Malaysia Airlines.

Despite still being in very early development stages, iniBuilds has shared a few previews of the work they already got done while also justifying why they didn't go for it sooner. "We've been wanting to do this one for a while, however there's been lots of construction which has made it difficult to ensure we get it right. With this construction now getting to the point where we can accurately see what is being worked on, it has allowed us to get the references we need!".
