Document Details:
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has been Jordan’s principal domestic and international airport since it was built in 1983, handling more than 97% of the country’s air traffic. But QAIA was built at a time when air traffic and passenger numbers were low and sustained growth of 7% per year since 2000 meant the airport could simply not meet the demand. So in 2007, the government looked to partner with the private sector to expand and rehabilitate the airport, including constructing a new 900,000-square foot terminal, and asked IFC for help.
