Commenting on the results, Airport International Group CEO Nicolas Devillier stated that the sustained growth in passenger numbers reflects the resilience of QAIA's operations and the confidence of airline partners. He attributed the positive trend to the restoration of major regional and European air routes, which has reinforced QAIA’s role as Jordan's primary air gateway and a leading hub for travel, tourism, and trade in the Levant.
