Royal Jordanian Airlines is the main career into Amman with flights to New York, Toronto, London, Frankfurt, Moscow and Bangkok among numerous other major hubs across the globe. The airport has also been used as a gateway to nearby Iraq since the recent Gulf War. The airport currently receives more than three million passengers a year and hopes to expand this number to nearly ten million by 2010 by building a new terminal building as it strives to become a Middle Eastern hub. Passengers can choose from a selection of international brand restaurants and cafes like Starbucks and Pizza Hut inside the terminal building. Wireless internet is also available free of charge throughout. Transportation: Queen Alia International Airport lies 20 miles south of the centre of Amman on a main highway, so access to the city takes about half an hour. Passengers arriving at the airport can hire taxis 24 hours a day and should expect to pay about 15 to 20 JD one way. Travellers that wish to hire cars can do so from a number of companies operating booths at the airport.
Parking: the airport features six car parks with a total capacity of just under 1400 spaces which is likely to increase dramatically when the new terminal is completed. |
