Field and clock profile
Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport is a moderate-elevation field at 2,555 ft (779 m), positioned at 31.9727° N, 35.9916° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 10,745 ft / 3,275 m.

City and airport alternatives
Amman is the closest retained city-time anchor at 4.8 km. DAM Damascus is the closest retained airport alternative at 167 km.
Country airport peers
ADJ has no same-country peer airports retained in the current airport set, so the useful comparison points are its code, coordinates, timezone, and route references.

OurAirports classifies ADJ as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Amman.
ADJ (OJAM) is a moderate-elevation field at 2,555 ft (779 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
ADJ sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
ADJ's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 10,745 ft / 3,275 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for ADJ is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at jac.jo, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for ADJ
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
ADJ uses Asia/Amman (GMT+3, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport is about 4.8 km from central Amman; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
DAM Damascus is the closest retained alternate at 167 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
jac.jo is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Amman is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Amman is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from ADJ, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
