About Queen Alia International Airport

Queen Alia International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 31.72° N, 35.99° E, on Asia/Amman time (UTC+3).

Queen Alia International Airport has 2 runways. The longest, 08L/26R, measures 12,008 ft by 200 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. Surfaces vary across the field (asphalt, concrete). Both are lit for night operations.

Runway 08L/26R is aligned roughly east/west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that east/west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
