Announcement from Airport International Group

Airport International Group (AIG) – the Jordanian company responsible for the rehabilitation, expansion and operation of Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) – is holding a full emergency drill in collaboration with governmental and relevant entities on Tuesday 11 March, 2014, between 5:00pm and 9:00pm at the QAIA terminal.

Designed to simulate a fire breakout in the building, the exercise will tackle emergency evacuation procedures. AIG affirmed that no risks will be involved in the drill and that it will not interfere with passenger schedules or cause flight delays.

This step falls in line with AIG’s ongoing efforts to train QAIA employees on the proper procedures for dealing with a variety of emergency scenarios. The drill corresponds with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) policies and Jordan’s Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission’s (CARC) regulations, both of which require that such exercises be regularly implemented due to the significant impact they have on ensuring the highest levels of safety and security for passengers and aviation workers alike.

AIG adopts a comprehensive emergency routine that is implemented in accordance with all safety requirements imposed by local and international aviation regulatory organizations.
