Passenger traffic at Hamad International Airport (HIA) dipped sharply after the blockade of Qatar began in June, according to freshly released government figures.
Traffic dropped eighteen percent year-on-year in June, according to the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics (MDPS) August Bulletin.
It also fell some thirty two percent from the previous month. But this could also be because June is usually a quieter travel month in Doha than May.

These official figures expose for the very first time how hard the Gulf dispute has hit HIA, which had experienced blockbuster growth before the boycott began.
Fewer airlines
At least half a dozen airlines from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt have ceased flying to Doha over the past three months.
They include Etihad, Emirates, Fly Dubai, Saudia, Gulf Air and Air Arabia. Additionally, Qatar Airways was coerced to suspend its flights to all of the blockading countries.
According to analysts CAPA (Centre for Aviation) the severing of these air links caused the cancellation of over 130,000 aircraft seats per week.

This is why the number of aircraft movements – or how many takeoffs and landings were recorded – also dropped.
They were down fifteen percent year-on-year for June 2017, and twenty four percent month-on-month, the MDPS said.
The MDPS noted in its report that Hamad International Airport has not yet released passenger statistics for July 2017, so it was incapable to include them in its August bulletin.
Fewer regional visitors
Fewer flights has meant fewer visitors to Qatar in the past duo of months.
According to the MDPS, eighteen percent fewer GCC visitors came to Qatar this July (656,681) compared to July two thousand sixteen (804,875).

However, visitor arrivals remain remarkably high, given flight limitations.
Additionally, nationals of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are presently being discouraged from visiting Qatar by their own governments.
Right now, only residents from two Gulf countries – Kuwait and Oman – are able to fly into Doha without limitations.

Visitor figures for July also display a nine percent year-on-year decrease of travelers from other Arab countries.
On a positive note, however, they also display an increase of visitors from Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
This helped temper the Gulf slump so that overall, visitor numbers from July two thousand seventeen to July two thousand sixteen only fell by seven percent.
