“The traffic statistics for February clearly indicate that QAIA has not recovered to pre-Covid 19 crisis levels just yet. Nevertheless, we remain optimistic that with the current easing and inevitable lifting of travel restrictions - illustrated by the cancelation of the negative PCR test requirements to travel to Jordan from 1 March 2022 - traffic will pick up the pace during upcoming seasons,” commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Claude.
