Airport HistoryEst. 1983

Jordan's main international gateway opened in 1983, replacing the smaller and increasingly congested Amman Civil Airport, and is named for Queen Alia, third wife of King Hussein, who died in a 1977 helicopter crash. A striking new terminal designed by Foster + Partners, its roof of concrete domes inspired by Bedouin tents, opened in 2013 under a public-private concession and has since undergone further expansion.

✦The terminal's roof is made of 127 individual concrete domes, some weighing up to 600 metric tonnes, engineered without visible internal support columns.
✦Further expansion plans reported in recent years target a capacity of around 16 million passengers by 2032, though this is a forward-looking plan subject to change.

Queen Alia's Death

Queen Alia bint Baha ud-din, third wife of King Hussein of Jordan, dies in a helicopter crash; the country's new airport is later named in her honor.
