Amman Civil Airport (IATA: ADJ, ICAO: OJAM) (Arabic: مطار عمان المدني, romanized: Maṭār ʿAmmān al-Madaniyy), commonly known as Marka International Airport, is located in Marka district, Greater Amman Municipality, Jordan, some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi; 2.7 NM) northeast of Amman's city centre.
Amman Civil Airport served as Amman's main airport from 1950 until 1983, when Queen Alia International Airport replaced it. Scheduled commercial passenger flights no longer serve the airport, but it still serves as Amman's main airport for general aviation. It also is an aviation education and training hub and hosts air freight operations. It serves as the home base for Arab Wings and Jordan International Air Cargo, and the Jordan Airports Company is headquartered at the airport.
