Queen Alia International Airport (ICAO OJAI, IATA AMM) is located in Amman, the capital city of Jordan. It is the home hub of Royal Jordanian Airlines, the national flag carrier.

The airport is named after Queen Alia, the third wife of King Hussein of Jordan; she was killed in an air crash in 1977.

On May 3, 2003, Hiroki Gomi, a photographer for a leading Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, was carrying an object, reportedly a battle souvenir from Iraq, when the object exploded as it was being inspected. The device killed the security guard inspecting it, and injured Gomi, who was standing nearby.

Runways

Queen Alia has two parallel 12,007 feet long runways, 08R/26L and 08L/26R.
