Location

Amman, Jordan

Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is the main international airport of Jordan, located approximately 35 kilometres south of Amman. It is named after Queen Alia Al-Hussein, the third wife of King Hussein, who died in a helicopter crash in 1977. The airport serves as the primary hub for the country's flag carrier, Royal Jordanian Airlines. A major modernisation project led to the opening of a new terminal designed by Foster + Partners in 2013, significantly expanding capacity and improving passenger facilities. The airport is operated by Airport International Group (AIG) under a 25-year concession agreement with the Jordanian government. Queen Alia handles the vast majority of Jordan's air traffic and connects Amman to destinations across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, making it a regional connecting hub.
