Curious why the new airport can’t handle the additional demand during the World Cup.

I wonder how the organisers will spin the "sustainability" aspect of this. I can just picture Greta screaming "HOW DARE YOU!!!"

I'm guessing you havent researched or been to Qatar before? You most definitely arent moving a motorhome from Stadium A to B. The stadiums are 35 miles apart from the furthest and most are within 8-10 miles of eachother. In the middle of Doha. You arent going to be driving a motorhome from one to the next. Or anywhere in Doha.

Wouldn't you die of a heat stroke in the motorhome ?

This is not unusual. This happens at every major tournament where charter flights bring in fans just for the game and leave right after the game. Heck, every single Champions League game that requires some travel sees these flights. For the WC in Brazil there were charter flights from Europe and back. Don't be surprised to see the same single day charters from Europe/Africa/Asia to Qatar considering it's half the distance than to Brazil.
