AIG was established in Jordan in 2007 and operates as a private shareholding company. It was awarded a 25-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) concession by the Government of Jordan for the rehabilitation, expansion, and operation of QAIA.
In April last year, a consortium involving ADP Group, Meridiam, and Asma Capital purchased 85.25% of shares from several selling shareholders, with ADP increasing its stake to 51% and Meridiam acquiring 32%.
Located 35km from the capital of Amman, QAIA was first opened in 1983 to become Jordan’s key gateway to the world.
QAIA provides passenger, air cargo and aviation support services and operates flights to a number of destinations in Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East.
