About Doha International Airport

Doha International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 25.26° N, 51.57° E, on Asia/Qatar time (UTC+3).

Doha International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 15/33, measures 15,000 ft by 151 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 15/33 is aligned roughly south/north, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south/north alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
