The Trinity Forum, the world’s most influential airport commercial revenues conference, will be held in Doha in 2019, the first time the event has ever been hosted in Qatar.

The Forum, a joint venture between The Moodie Davitt Report, ACI World and ACI Asia-Pacific, will be jointly hosted by Hamad International Airport (HIA), Qatar Airways and Qatar Duty Free (QDF) and will take place in Doha on 30-31 October 2019. This is also the first time in the event’s 16-year history that an airline has joined the hosting line-up, which emphasises the importance of this key stakeholder to the Trinity partnership.

The Trinity Forum aims to improve dialogue and mutual understanding between airports, concessionaires and brands to the benefit of that critical fourth party – the travelling consumer.

Martin Moodie said: “We are delighted to bring The Trinity Forum, the world’s most influential airport commercial revenues conference, to the Middle East region and, in particular, to Qatar, a shining example of the pursuit of airport retail and commercial excellence. Hamad International Airport is one of the world’s great airports, and Qatar Airways is one of modern aviation’s most extraordinary success stories. We are proud to partner with such outstanding organisations and with Qatar Duty Free, which so epitomises our industry’s drive for retail and consumer service excellence.”
