Qatar Airways has announced plans to relocate its global headquarters to Msheireb Downtown Doha in 2025.

The news was announced during a signing ceremony at Qatar Airways main office attended by Vice Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Msherieb Properties Eng. Saad Al Muhannadi.

Located in the heart of Doha, the new offices will offer Qatar Airways employees state-of-the-art facilities in four interconnected towers, nine kilometres away from the airline’s hub operations centre, Hamad International Airport (DOH).

The new location will provide enhanced accessibility to Qatar Airways’ Doha-based employees, located only 10 metres away from Mesheireb Metro Station, where all Doha Metro lines connect.

This is the first large-scale office relocation for Qatar Airways Group, which currently occupies three separate buildings in the Old Air-port area of the city. The new office towers are owned by real estate development company and subsidiary of Qatar Foundation, Msheireb Properties.

Situated on Al Nakheel Street, Qatar Airways’ new head office is the highest building in Msheireb, offering breath-taking views of Doha’s iconic skyline. With a total gross area of 51,602 square feet, the four interconnected towers share a lobby. Tower A, the tallest in Msheireb Downtown Doha, rises to 20 stories high, while Tower B stands at 15 stories. Towers C and D are both six stories high.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said the new headquarters would enable the Group to drive the innovation, productivity and efficiencies required to power the operations of the world’s leading airline into the future, as well as reflect the Group’s commitment to its employees and to sustainability through smart urban design and eco-friendly architecture.

Blending Qatar’s architectural heritage with modern design, Msheireb Downtown Doha is the world’s first fully built smart and sustainable city district with Platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

“It has always been our ambition to create a vibrant environment that attracts pioneering organizations to Msheireb Downtown Do-ha. Qatar Airways, as one of the world’s leading airlines, perfectly exemplifies this vision. We take great pride in welcoming them to our community, as their presence further establishes Msheireb Downtown Doha as a premier destination for global business excel-lence,” said Eng. Saad Al Muhannadi, Vice Chairperson of the Board of Directors of Msheireb Properties.
