Potential
second option for low-cost flightsSecretary-General of the Ministry of Transport, Wesam Tahtamouni, had previously indicated that
Amman Civil Airport would be a second option for receiving low-cost flights.

discuss the general budget for 2023, the Minister of Transport, Maher Abu
Al-Samen, stated that the operation of Amman Civil Airport would begin this year.
However,
CEO of Jordanian Airports Company, Ahmad Azzam, earlier stated that the commercial
operation of Amman Civil Airport in the Marka area would begin in 2024, after
