Amman's ‘Queen Alia International Airport’ has achieved a new milestone for annual passenger traffic, receiving 8,924,080 travellers during 2019 (+5.9%). According to statistics released by Airport International Group, aircraft movements in 2019 reached 79,740 (+3.7%) and the cargo throughput amounted to 102,459 tonnes (-1.6%). The top five travel destinations by the number of passengers during 2019 were Dubai, Istanbul, Cairo, Doha, and Kuwait. In tandem, four new airlines joined QAIA’s route network - SaudiGulf Airlines, Transavia (Netherlands and France) and Royal Air Maroc - and five new cities were made available - Casablanca, Memmingen/Germany, Malta, Thessaloniki, and Lyon. “2019 has proven to be yet another fruitful year for Queen Alia International Airport. The remarkable dedication of our teams and partners has enabled us to break new records, while further strengthening our standing on the global aviation map and positioning the Kingdom as a prominent travel destination within the MENA region and beyond," commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Claude. "We also claimed the title of ‘Best Airport by Size and Region: Middle East’ for airports that serve 5 to 15 million passengers for 2018, and received the Airport Customer Experience Accreditation - both of which were granted by Airports Council International,” Claude said. “I would like to express gratitude towards our employees, partners and stakeholders, without whom these accomplishments would not have been possible. Together, we will continue working towards attaining new achievements in 2020, giving rise to QAIA as Jordan’s prime gateway to the world,” he said. #1130.16
