AIG to enhance water infrastructure at Queen Alia International Airport

Airport International Group (AIG) and Jordan Water Company (Miyahuna) have formed a strategic partnership to enhance the water infrastructure of Queen Alia International Airport.

The agreement paves the way for a new water pipeline spanning over 11 kilometres from Miyahuna’s Al Qastal substation to the airport, of which 4.6km are outside airport premises and 6.7km are within.

Airport International Group will fund the infrastructure development and Miyahuna will oversee the maintenance and operational management of the pipeline segment situated beyond Queen Alia’s premises.

The agreement aims to enhance the water service infrastructure and address the growing demands for water resources driven by the continuous expansion of air travel via the gateway.

According to AIG, it also underscores its commitment to “optimising internal airport operations and ensuring the consistent delivery of essential services to the airport community”.

Moreover, the project is set to reduce the environmental impact of water transportation, aligning with Airport International Group’s strict adherence to sustainable practices. The installation of the water pipeline is scheduled for Q4 2024.

AIG CEO, Nicolas Deviller, enthused: “At Airport International Group, we are dedicated not only to responsible resource management and environmental stewardship, but also to the success that can be achieved through effective partnerships between public and private entities.

“Our collaboration with Miyahuna is a testament to this. Together, we are not just improving water infrastructure; we are strengthening QAIA’s foundation for long-term growth and operational excellence, ensuring its resilience and efficiency for years to come.”
