The Queen Alia Airport is Jordan’s main international airport and a key component of the country’s transport, trade and tourism infrastructure. In 2007, IFC served as transaction advisor
to the Jordanian government on structuring and awarding a 25-year concession to a private sector operator responsible for reconstructing and expanding the airport’s terminal.
It was the first successful airport public-private partnership in the Middle East. IFC subsequently financed the project by providing and arranging $280 million in loans. The new
terminal was opened in March 2013 and by mid-2014, IFC provided and arranged an additional $68 million in loans to finance an expansion of the new terminal’s related facilities.
