Featuring over 200 retail and dining outlets, Qatar Duty Free (QDF) is creating a new airport experience while reinventing airport shopping and dining for a new generation of travellers. The company offers diverse eating and shopping opportunities and unique ways to enjoy Hamad International Airport, as well as being the launching pad for experiences that cannot be found anywhere else.

This ‘trinity’ model of airport, retailer and airline creates a world-class airport retail experience for passengers. Together, it provides its shared customer base with a five-star experience, including innovative retail products, global brand firsts, exclusives and exceptional dining opportunities.
QDF recently scooped seven titles at the Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Awards 2024, including Airport Food & Beverage Offer of the Year for its second consecutive year. The award-winning travel retailer also received the top prize of Airport Retailer of the Year at the 2023 Frontier Awards, along with the Best New Shop Opening and Outstanding Contribution titles.
Hamad International Airport recently won World’s Best Airport for Shopping at the SKYTRAX World Airport Awards 2024 for the second year in a row, attributed to QDF’s retail and F&B strategy to offer the best experience for passengers at the airport.
In addition, QDF was named the World’s Leading Airport Duty Free Operator 2022 and Middle East’s Leading Airport Duty Free Operator 2022 in the World Travel Awards, and won the 2022 Best Customer Experience Airport Retailer at Global Brands Magazine Awards.
