Wikidata airport entity: Q1432011 · Amman City Airport. Administrative area: Amman. Named after: Amman
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. The airport clock uses Asia/Amman (GMT+3, UTC+03:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Amman is the closest retained city-time anchor at 4.8 km. DAM Damascus is the closest retained airport alternative at 167 km.
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.
ADJ-DAM Damascus: 167 km, about 1h 3m, +0h. ADJ-BEY Beirut: 211 km, about 1h 6m, +0h. ADJ-ALP Aleppo: 482 km, about 1h 27m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident OJAM backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. jac.jo is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

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.
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.
ADJ uses Asia/Amman (GMT+3, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport is about 4.8 km from central Amman; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
DAM Damascus is the closest retained alternate at 167 km, time difference +0h.
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.
These comparisons place ADJ inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
ADJ ranks #1 in the curated Jordan airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 1 airport.
ADJ has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Asia/Amman a more distinctive signal for this page.
ADJ is 2,555 ft (779 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include TYN 2,575 ft (785 m) (20 ft delta) · CGH 2,631 ft (802 m) (76 ft delta) · TUS 2,643 ft (806 m) (88 ft delta) · GRU 2,461 ft (750 m) (94 ft delta) · GYN 2,450 ft (747 m) (105 ft delta).

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.
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.
