The Jordan Airports Company (JAC) was registered on 28th of December 2008 as a private shareholding company, wholly owned by the Government of Jordan. JAC operates Amman Marka International Airport and aims to become established as the leading airport operator and infrastructure provider for the Middle East in the future.

Lufthansa Consulting was contracted by JAC in November 2009 to provide technical assistance in the strategic company development. So far the team of experts has completed the following studies:

• Strategic development plan
• Ground handling feasibility study
• Airport security assessment
• Process mapping and process re-design for the airport operation
• Apron re-design for Amman Marka International Airport
• Assessment of technical ability of the ground operation department
• Evaluation for the investment and operation of security equipment at Amman Marka International Airport
• Passenger service and workflow evaluation

In April 2010 the Jordan Airports Company extended the existing contract with Lufthansa Consulting to cover further tasks, which complement the first mission by providing several improvements, such as new passenger terminal and airside services. Another strategically important assignment will be to support JAC in the management of joint civil and military airport usage at Amman Marka International and Mafraq Airport.

As there is still demand for consulting services in the Jordan aviation sector, there is also further potential for a future successful cooperation between Lufthansa Consulting and the Jordan Airports Company.
