Eight new passenger destinations and three cargo ports were added to HIA's global network in 2019. 

Fifteen airlines operating at HIA increased their weekly flight frequencies including Kuwait Airways, Salam Air, Philippine Airlines and Oman Air. 
HIA also welcomed two new airline partners, Air India and Tarco Aviation. This led to HIA handling 232,917 aircraft movements in 2019, which is 5.57 per cent more than the previous year. 

HIA announced its multi-phased airport expansion plan in 2019. Phase A of the expansion is set to comprise a central concourse linking concourses D and E and will increase the airport's capacity to more than 53 million passengers annually by 2022. Phase B, which will be completed after 2022, will extend concourses D and E to further enhance the airport's capacity to more than 60 million passengers annually. The expansion project will also feature a 10,000 sqm indoor tropical garden, a 268 sqm water feature, 11,720 sqm of landscaped retail and F&B space and 9,000 sqm of Al Mourjan lounge.
