Commonly known as Marka International Airport, the
facility served as the city’s main airport between 1950 and 1983, when
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) was inaugurated. ACA’s operations are
currently limited to private flights, which include chartered and diplomatic flights,
and aircraft maintenance.
The airport is also considered a center for aviation
education and flight training with academies operating inside the airport.
The Ministry of
Transport said that work is currently underway on a tender for covering a
valley close to the runway to meet the requirements of the
Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) as a requisite for resuming civilian
flights.
The Jordan Airports Company (JAC) and the CARC are
communicating to accomplish what is required in order to lift the limited use
of the airport.
Under a Ministry of Transport plan for the years
2021-2023, the ministry _ in cooperation with the JAC _ will carry out a
feasibility study for developing Marka airport and assessing the amount of
money needed.
The Investment is likely to be building, operating
and owning the airport, similar to QAIA’s which is through public-private
sector partnership.
