Marka International Airport ADJ

Marka International Airport (ADJ), also known as Amman City Airport, is in the Marka district, about 5 km northeast of central Amman. It is used for both civil and military purposes and began receiving commercial flights again in 2025, as a secondary facility alongside Queen Alia, the country’s main airport. It is used mainly by travellers who want to fly from an airport much closer to the city, with regional and low-cost flights.

Terminals

There is a single small terminal, with arrivals and departures under the same roof, so there are no transfers between buildings.

Airlines and destinations

Services are regional, with airlines such as Royal Jordanian, Air Arabia, flynas, Jazeera Airways and Air Cairo, and flights to the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey. As this is a recent reopening, routes and airlines can change easily.

Services

There are shops and restaurants, but it is a small terminal: don’t expect the range of a large airport. Bring some cash in Jordanian dinars just in case.

Tips

Amman has two airports, Marka (ADJ) and Queen Alia (AMM), the latter about 30 km south of the city. Check your ticket to see which one is yours, because mixing them up could cost you your flight. Also confirm your schedule before travelling: services here change more often than at the main airport.
