Building Global Connectivity and Expanding Network

The record numbers come as QAIA continues to strengthen its position as Jordan’s primary gateway to the world. The recent addition of Libyan Wings to the airport’s airline network is a notable milestone, enhancing QAIA’s connectivity to more destinations across the globe. This expansion reflects the airport’s efforts to meet the rising demand for both passenger and cargo services, providing travelers with a more extensive range of flight options and reinforcing the airport’s critical role in regional and international aviation.

We are also proud to see sustained growth in both passenger and aircraft movement figures, reinforcing our role as Jordan’s prime gateway to the world.”

QAIA’s success extends beyond traffic numbers. The airport was recently recognized as the “Most Enjoyable Airport in the Middle East” for the second consecutive year by Airports Council International (ACI) World. This prestigious recognition is a testament to QAIA’s commitment to providing world-class services and a seamless travel experience. As the airport continues to expand its facilities and enhance services, it remains dedicated to ensuring that every passenger walking through its doors feels at home, further solidifying its status as a leading global aviation hub.

QAIA’s continued growth and commitment to excellence make it an essential player in the aviation sector, not only in Jordan but also within the broader Middle Eastern and global markets.
