During a meeting held at the Ministry of Transport, the ministers discussed ways to enhance connectivity between Queen Alia International Airport and the capital, passing through the Mahatta station and reaching Amman Civil Airport, in a manner that facilitates the movement of citizens and travelers and improves the integration of transport services.
They also discussed solutions to improve traffic flow on main roads between the capital and the governorates, alongside options for connectivity with the new Amman city.
The meeting addressed the implementation of the "Park and Ride" concept, which allows citizens to park their private vehicles in designated facilities and complete their journeys using public transport, with the aim of reducing the number of vehicles entering congested areas and curbing traffic jams.
The ministers discussed investment opportunities for lands owned by the Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites near the airport, to establish investment and service projects that support the transport system and meet its current and future needs.
The ministers emphasized the importance of preparing practical visions for developing transport services and connectivity between Queen Alia International Airport, the capital, and Amman Civil Airport, improving mobility between governorates, and strengthening coordination between relevant authorities to ensure the integration of transport and infrastructure projects.
