## Description

Roughly 6,300 tonnes of cargo in a single month — September 2025 — sets the scale at which Queen Alia International Airport (AMM/OJAI) in Amman operates: a regionally important handling point, not a freighter mega-hub of the Asian or European kind. Menzies Aviation and its Jordanian partner Aviation Handling Services (AHS) have opened a new 8,000 square metre cargo terminal there, roughly doubling handling capacity and providing separate areas for perishables, pharmaceuticals and general cargo. Royal Jordanian runs its own freight arm, Royal Jordanian Cargo, based in Amman, and has provided ground handling for airlines at both Amman and Aqaba for decades. A large share of the volume moves as belly cargo on passenger aircraft; if you need dedicated freighter capacity, check current schedules first, as these fluctuate seasonally and with regional conditions. Importers and exporters should keep the south of the country in view: King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba (AQJ) sits some 330 road kilometres away on the Red Sea, next to the special economic zone and the seaport of Aqaba — the obvious alternative for sea-air chains and heavy consignments. Trucking between Amman, Aqaba and the northern industrial zones is a same-day matter. Shippers moving pharma or fresh produce should flag the new terminal's temperature-controlled zones at booking stage rather than at the counter.
