King Hussein International Airport (AQJ)
King Hussein International Airport (or Aqaba Airport) is an international airport located in Aqaba Industrial City, the northern suburb of Aqaba, Jordan. Aqaba's location is exceptional, stretching in a semicircle 24 kilometers in diameter, in three countries, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Palestine. The airport has one runway with a Class I ILS system. Due to the quality of the weather, the airport rarely closes, although strong southerly winds bring sandstorms from Egypt across the Red Sea.
Located in Aqaba, King Hussein International Airport is Jordan's gateway to the Red Sea, 45 minutes from Amman by air. The airport is served by local and international airlines and continues to grow as a prominent regional destination serving both business and vacation travelers.
The airport works according to the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority's vision and strategy aimed at maximizing the role of the airport in supporting tourism companies and offices and government plans related to increasing the growth of tourist traffic towards the Kingdom as a whole and the Golden Triangle region in particular, which reflects on Aqaba to become a tourist destination at the international level, especially since the airport deals according to the open skies policy with six international airlines that connect Aqaba with 22 capitals and cities in Europe.
