Zarqa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport (ADJ), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 10,745-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Queen Alia International Airport (AMM, 40 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marka International (Amman Civil) Airport | ADJ | 14 km (9 mi) | 10,745 ft | 2,555 ft |
| Queen Alia International Airport | AMM | 40 km (25 mi) | 12,008 ft | 2,395 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,745 ft, ADJ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,555 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
