Amman Civil Airport in Marka, now branded as Amman City Airport, has entered start-up operations following the completion and handover of a targeted rehabilitation and redesign package for the Departures Hall. Engicon served as engineering consultant to Jordan Airports Company (JAC), providing design review and construction supervision for the works.

The rehabilitation focused on the Departures Hall, with a total built-up area of approximately 3,500 square meters. The updated layout expands the main departures hall to accommodate up to 550 passengers, equivalent to two aircraft operating in the same time window. 

The scope also included planning and optimization of passport control counters, rehabilitation of the baggage handling area, and development of passenger flow paths from the main entrance to the boarding gates. Staff and flight crew circulation routes were defined in parallel to support safe and efficient operational movement.

Alongside the planning work, Engicon undertook a comprehensive review of contractor design submissions and shop drawings. This included revisions and coordination input for airport operation systems, acoustical design, flight travel information and display systems, and architectural finishing works within the departures hall.

Engicon commenced its assignment on 1 July 2025. The works were handed over to the client on 13 December 2025, with an Engicon representative remaining on site to support defect and snagging closure during the initial operational period.
The project is part of a broader effort to strengthen Jordan’s aviation network and introduce additional capacity to help relieve demand on Queen Alia International Airport, while supporting tourism growth and improved connectivity. 

According to the operating and sector outlook communicated publicly around the airport’s licensing and readiness, the airport is intended to support the low-cost carrier market and phased growth in passenger movement. As the airport ramps up operations, JAC’s stated aim is to reach 1.0 million passengers per year in the first year, with gradual expansion guided by a masterplan currently being prepared for JAC.
