Amman: Airport International Group announced that Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) welcomed 625,695 passengers (PAX) in March 2025, marking a 4.8% increase compared to the same period last year. QAIA also recorded 5,741 aircraft movements (ACM), a 4.8% rise, and handled 6,187 tons of cargo, a 2.7% decline year-on-year.

Between January and March 2025, QAIA received a total of 2,137,322 PAX - the highest first-quarter figure in the airport’s history and an 8.5%. growth over the same period in 2024. Additionally, QAIA reported 17,526 ACM, up 5.3%, while cargo amounted to 16,156 tons, down 16.5% against the same period last year.

“The continued growth in passenger traffic since the start of 2025 - culminating in QAIA’s highest-ever first-quarter figures - highlights both the resilience of our operations and the renewed confidence of our airline partners. This upward trend is fueled by the return of key regional and European routes, reaffirming QAIA’s standing as Jordan’s prime gateway to the world and a vital connector for travel, tourism and trade within the Levant. As always, we remain committed to working with our teams and partners to deliver a seamless airport experience that truly feels like home,” commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Deviller.
