Ammon News - Airport International Group (AIG) announced that Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has received the Airports Council International (ACI) ‘Airport Health Accreditation’ effective until December 2022.

In an AIG press statement on Wednesday, the certificate comes in appreciation of QAIA's commitment to prioritizing health and safety measures, in line with the recommendations of the ACI's Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and ACI World’s Aviation Operations during COVID-19 – Business Restart and Recovery.

"This achievement is a testament to the seriousness of QAIA community in continuing to care for the health and safety of passengers and employees alike," said Nicolas Claude, AIG CEO.

The AIG's team and all parties concerned with its work are taking effective steps to reduce health risks at Jordan's main airport and maintain the health accreditation of airports for another year, Claude pointed out.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the AIG has implemented a series of preventive measures aimed to curbing spread of Covid-19, including installing counter glass barriers, displaying health and safety instructions, and providing hand sanitizers, in addition to establishing medical laboratories at QAIA to conduct "PCR" tests for incoming travelers, in line with travel procedures approved by the Jordanian government, according to Claude.
