Aqaba's King Hussein International airport is to get a private jet terminal developed by the Aqaba Development Corporation and Jordanian Private Jets Services (JPJETS).
The project is scheduled for completion in one year and will feature a 500m2 (6,000ft2) terminal building and ground handling equipment, with the remainder of a 6,000m2 parcel of land dedicated to private jet parking.
According to ADC, the terminal will be the first of its kind in Jordan and the fourth in the Middle East owned by a private institution.
According to its agreement with ADC, JPJETS will also purchase three jets at a total cost of $40.5 million: $20.5 million for a Bombardier Challenger 604, which is expected to be delivered in two months, $12.2 million for a Hawker 800XP, expected to be delivered early 2008, and $7.8 million for a Grob SPn, which is expected to be delivered in 2009.
