The Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC) has awarded the contract to build a temporary airport terminal for the Asian Games to Siemens.

The project involves the supply of all check-in, security, baggage handling and reclaim equipment, so that the expected increase in passenger volume during the Games can be handled without having to build additional permanent infrastructure at the Doha International Airport.
The temporary terminal, built using a solution known as CapacityPlus at the airport, will provide all the functions of a regular terminal, including both the arrival and departure areas, baggage handling system, complete electronic security systems for passengers and luggage, police and customs baggage claims, and the check-in counters. Additionally, a screening system, flight information system, air conditioning system, medical station, all essential sanitary facilities, as well as emergency power, are included in the scope of supply.
The terminal, designed and built by Siemens, will be situated in a secure, temporary structure designed to reflect an Arabian tent scheme, measuring 100 m by 80 m. It will house the central check-in and departure counter for those involved in the Games, such as athletes, media, VIPs, delegations and technicians. The terminal is expected to handle an estimated 3,000 passengers every hour.
The CapacityPlus system has been previously used with great success at Lisbon Airport in Portugal during the 2004 European Football Championships.
