Amman, Sept. 14 (Petra) — The Queen Alia International Airport Free
Zone is positioning its direct access to air freight networks as a
key link between global supply chains and markets in the Kingdom and
the wider region, the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group said
Monday.

The free zone’s logistics and supply chain operations were
highlighted during a visit by 45 industrial engineers, who toured the
facility to examine how cargo, customs, manufacturing and clearance
services are integrated within the airport-based zone.

The delegation comprised members of the Jordan Engineers Association
and the Industrial Engineers Association within the Mechanical
Engineering Division.

Free Zones Director General Abdulhamid Gharaibeh briefed the
delegation on the zone’s investment and economic activities and its
role in facilitating trade and the movement of goods through air
cargo channels.

The engineers toured factories and facilities involved in light and
medium industries, commercial activities and logistics, as well as
customs operations and freight clearance companies.

The group said the zone’s location alongside Queen Alia International
Airport enables it to receive goods and supplies requiring air
transport from cities worldwide and channel them into the domestic
market or onward to regional destinations.

The visit also provided participants with practical insight into the
operation of free zones and their links to supply chain management,
logistics, manufacturing and trade.

According to the group, the airport free zone forms an integral part
of the Kingdom’s transport and logistics infrastructure, leveraging
its proximity to the airport and the country’s geographic location to
connect international air cargo flows with regional markets.
