Nicolas Deville, chief executive of Airport International Group, said the July performance underscores the role of air connectivity in supporting tourism, trade and the broader Jordanian economy, particularly during the summer travel period. He said that with passenger traffic approaching one million in a single month, Queen Alia International Airport continues to serve as a key gateway for travel to and from the Kingdom.
Deville added that the company's priority is to sustain and build on this performance by ensuring the airport can respond to evolving demand while maintaining service levels, efficiency and connectivity for passengers and airline partners.
