Meanwhile, Jazeera Airways, Air Arabia and Fly Dubai bookings show that flights with football fans will land at Doha International Airport from September 15. "Starting September 15th, all of our regular Doha flights will be temporarily moved to Doha International Airport (DIA) instead of Hamad International Airport (DOH) due to preparations for the World Cup," announced Jazeera Airways to its passengers on its social media, adding World Cup shuttle flights will operate to Doha International Airport.
