During the same month, QAIA recorded 5,783 aircraft movements (ACM) and handled 6,504 tonnes of cargo, registering a 6.3 per cent decrease and a notable 27.5 per cent increase, respectively, compared to the same period last year, according to a statement for The Jordan Times.

Year-to-date statistics revealed a 5 per cent drop in QAIA passenger figures as opposed to the same period in 2023, totalling 2,638,151 PAX.

We will continue to strive to foster an airport environment that feels like home at Jordan's prime gateway to the world,” commented the Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Deviller.
