About Queen Alia International Airport
Overview
Queen Alia International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Jordan, located near Amman at 2395 feet mean sea level. The airport features two substantial parallel runways, each 12,008 feet long, capable of handling large commercial and international aircraft operations. Its strategic location in the Middle East positions it as a key aviation hub for regional and international air travel.
Flying Conditions
Jordan's inland location at 31.722601°N, 35.993198°E results in significant temperature and wind variations throughout the year. The airport's elevation of 2395 feet MSL means aircraft performance calculations must account for moderate altitude effects. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potential crosswind conditions given the airport's geographical positioning.
Notable Features
The airport's twin parallel runways (08L/26R and 08R/26L) provide operational flexibility for different wind conditions and simultaneous aircraft movements. Both runways are constructed with different surface types - 08L/26R is asphalt (ASP) and 08R/26L is concrete (CON), which may influence landing and braking characteristics. The substantial 12,008-foot runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests east-west approaches (08/26) are primary, which aligns with typical regional wind patterns. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind scenarios given the parallel runway configuration. The substantial runway lengths provide significant margin for landing and takeoff performance across various aircraft categories.
