| A state-of-the-art new terminal was inaugurated in March 2013 to replace the airport's older two passenger terminals and one cargo terminal.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ghazal |first=Mohammad |date=14 March 2013 |title=King Abdullah Opens New Queen Alia Airport Terminal |url=http://jordantimes.com/king-abdullah-opens-new-queen-alia-airport-terminal |newspaper=The Jordan Times |location=Amman, Jordan |publisher=Jordan Press Foundation |accessdate=4 February 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140511214256/http://jordantimes.com/king-abdullah-opens-new-queen-alia-airport-terminal |archivedate=11 May 2014 }}</ref> The three original terminals were made obsolete once the new terminal officially began operations.

| ==History==
| | [[Category:Amman]] |
| Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) was built in 1983<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.erf.org.eg/CMS/uploads/pdf/1277872800_OpenSkies_Barakat_Jordan.pdf |title=Arab Passengers' Airlines Framework and Performance |publisher=Economic Research Forum |format=PDF |accessdate=4 February 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140423041537/http://www.erf.org.eg/CMS/uploads/pdf/1277872800_OpenSkies_Barakat_Jordan.pdf |archivedate=23 April 2014 }}</ref> in response to the growing airport traffic needs that [[Amman Civil Airport]] could not accommodate. At the time, passenger traffic was increasing above the international average, recording 25–30% growth per annum and placing considerable pressure on airport facilities despite continuous expansion and development. In 1981, the number of arriving, departing and transit passengers exceeded 2.3 million, while cargo traffic reached 62,000 tons and aircraft traffic topped 27,000 movements.<ref name=tribute>{{cite book|title=Tribute to King Abdullah II of Jordan – Celebrating 15 Years of Leadership, "Celebrating 30 Years of Queen Alia International Airport"}}</ref>
| | {{2016}} |
| | | {{2017}} |
| The Jordanian Ministry of Transport undertook to build a new international airport with sufficient capacity to cope with demand in the foreseeable future. QAIA was built at an estimated total cost of JOD 84 million. Passenger facilities were designed to serve 3.5 million passengers per annum.<ref name="tribute" />
| |
| | |
| QAIA has since grown to become the kingdom's primary international gateway and a stop-over for international airlines in the Middle East. By 2012, QAIA was serving on average more than 6 million passengers and 40 airlines from around the world.<ref name="tribute" />
| |
| | |
| In 2007 the Government of Jordan selected [[Airport International Group]] (AIG) through an open tender to operate, rehabilitate and manage QAIA under a 25-year concession agreement. In response to the continual surge in passenger traffic at the time, AIG was also placed in charge of constructing a new terminal, one which not only would expand the airport's then insufficient annual capacity of 3.5 million passengers, but that would also introduce a "unique travel experience" to help advance QAIA's position as a niche transit hub in the region.<ref name="aig">{{cite web |url=http://www.aig.aero/en/content/qaia-project |title=QAIA Project |publisher= Airport International Group |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref><ref name="horizons">{{cite press release |author= |title=Queen Alia International Airport Takes Jordan's Aviation Industry to New Horizons |url=http://www.aig.aero/en/content/queen-alia-international-airport-takes-jordans-aviation-industry-new-horizons |location=Amman, Jordan |publisher=Airport International Group |date=14 November 2011 |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref><ref name="capacity">{{cite news |last=Maslen |first=Richard |date=27 March 2013 |title=New Terminal Opening Boosts Queen Alia Airport's Capacity |url=http://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/190852/new-terminal-opening-boosts-queen-alia-airports-capacity-/ |newspaper=Routesonline |location=Manchester, United Kingdom |publisher=UBM Information Ltd |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Accordingly, AIG invested an estimated USD 750 million in the construction of the new terminal.<ref name="headway">{{cite press release |author= |title=AIG Makes Substantial Headway in the Renovations of QAIA's Warehouses |url=http://www.aig.aero/en/content/aig-makes-substantial-headway-renovations-qaias-warehouses |location=Amman, Jordan |publisher=Airport International Group |date=28 August 2012 |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| The new terminal is also equipped to accommodate rising annual passenger traffic, taking the original airport capacity from 3.5 million passengers per year to 7 million.
| |
| | |
| Inaugurated on 14 March 2013, by [[King Abdullah II]],<ref name="capacity" /> the new airport was officially launched following an overnight operational transfer. The last flight departed from the old terminal at 10:05 pm on 20 March 2013, upon which all operations were shifted to the new terminal, where its first flight departed at 2:30 am on 21 March 2013.<ref name="fulloperations">{{cite press release |author= |title=New QAIA Terminal Officially Launches Full Operations |url=http://www.aig.aero/en/content/new-qaia-terminal-officially-launches-full-operations |location=Amman, Jordan |publisher=Airport International Group |date=21 March 2013 |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| On 20 January 2014, AIG launched the second phase of QAIA's expansion, valued at a total cost of over USD 100 million. Completed in 2016, the second expansion phase raised QAIA's annual passenger traffic capacity to up to 12 million, subsequently supporting the Jordan's national tourism strategy goals to serve as a regional transit hub for leisure and business travel. The aims to boost its capacity to 16 million passengers annually by the end of the concession time frame in 2032.<ref>http://jordantimes.com/news/local/new-phase-airport-expansion-completed-inaugurated</ref> Following the airport expansion, Emirates announced on August 15, 2016 that it will operate a one-off Airbus A380 service to Amman, celebrating 30 years of Emirates' operation to Jordan. The super jumbo will operate EK901/EK902 on September 25.

| The airport has three lounges, one operated by Royal Jordanian for business and first class passengers, and one operated by Airport Hotel next to the North Concourse, and the last exclusively run by telecom operator [[Zain Jordan]] for its VIP customers. Retail space was expanded by 25% at the new terminal, covering more than {{convert|6000|sqm|sqft|-3}}. The terminal houses several international food and beverage venues that include restaurants, supermarkets and a nuts roastery; a larger Duty Free area; a children's play area; additional shopping outlets; and internet connectivity.

| | |
| ==Airport management==
| |
| Airport International Group (AIG) is a Jordanian company formed to rehabilitate, expand and operate Queen Alia International Airport under a 25-year Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession agreement.<ref name="aig"/> The concession was awarded to AIG in 2007 by the Government of Jordan after an open international tender that was overseen by the International Finance Corporation (World Bank) within its capacity as advisor to the Government. AIG's shareholders include [[Jordan]]ian, [[Arab States of the Persian Gulf|Persian Gulf]], and European partners. Shareholders include Invest AD, Noor Financial Investments Co., Edgo Group, J&P (Overseas) Ltd., and [[Aeroports de Paris]] Management.
| |
| | |
| Through the BOT public-private partnership framework, the Government retains ownership of the airport and receives 54.47% of the airport's gross revenues for the first six years, and 54.64% of the gross revenues for the remaining 19 years of the agreement's 25-year term.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mofep.gov.gh/sites/default/files/docs/pid/pfa_ppp_presentation_2009_15.pdf |title=Queen Alia International Airport Project, Jordan |publisher=Norton Rose Fulbright |format=PDF |accessdate=4 February 2014}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| As part of its public-private partnership with the Government of Jordan, AIG closely collaborates with the Government on a day-to-day basis on all issues related to the airport. A dedicated project management unit within the Jordanian Ministry of Transport oversees the project for the Government. The Ministry of Transport receives full annual financial statements as well as quarterly financial and operational reports.
