Re-operating Marka Airport a strategic necessity: Transport Minister – Roya News English

Sunday, the Minister of Transport Wajeeh Al-Azayzeh emphasized the requirement of re-operating Marka Airport (Amman Civil Airport), noting it is a strategic necessity, especially since it does not require large sums of money.

Azayzeh reviewed the ministry's strategy and vision towards addressing the most prominent challenges of the transport sector in Jordan, which may not be partially addressed and cannot be attractive to investment unless it is considered a necessary and vital service sector for citizens, such as the health and education sector.

Azayzeh said that a committee for the public transport sector has been formed, composed of decision-makers in the sector, and sub-committees will emerge from it specialized in addressing current challenges, in order to reach a comfortable, safe and consistent transport sector.
