What this guide is for
Your company launches a PPP program to build, finance and operate the terminals, cargo centers, maintenance hangars, training academies and aviation services that public-private partnership (PPP) projects create.
The case
Aviation companies know how to run the infrastructure they use
Airports have long been built by governments and handed to a few operators, while airlines and service companies rented space inside them. The aviation infrastructure of the next fifty years will be built, financed and run by the companies that use it, and those that invest in it now will run it for as long as the concessions last. This guide invites aviation companies in Jordan to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Fly into the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your company opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that invest in and operate aviation infrastructure and the services around it, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
A PPP aviation team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every aviation and logistics project in Jordan’s pipeline from the first market sounding and decides early where the company can invest, build or operate.
02
Cargo and logistics centers
Air cargo terminals, cold chains for fresh produce and medicines, express hubs and links to the logistics zones can be built and run as concessions by the companies that move the freight.
03
Maintenance and training
Maintenance hangars, component shops, flight simulators and training academies serve airlines across the region and suit long concessions on public land, with revenue from many customers.
04
Aviation-led direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. An aviation company can design a project around what it knows, such as a cargo village, a maintenance center, a fuel farm or a drone corridor, and propose it with partners who finance and build it.
05
Pilots as small-scale PPPs
PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender. A drone delivery network, a solar plant for a hangar or a training center at that scale gives the company a live concession and a reference.
Why aviation companies
Aviation companies know how to run the infrastructure they use
Jordan’s airports, airlines and service companies already run one of the country’s best-known PPPs. Airport International Group signed a 25-year concession for Queen Alia International Airport in 2007, and the companies around it have learned how aviation infrastructure is financed and run.
Where aviation companies fit in a PPP
- Preparation
- Traffic and cargo forecasts, operating data and design advice that shape a bankable aviation project.
- Tender
- Places in consortia as operator, anchor tenant or service provider.
- Financial close
- Equity and long-term leases and service contracts that give lenders steady revenue.
- Operation
- Running terminals, cargo centers, hangars, fuel farms, ground handling and catering for decades.
- Exit
- Stakes that infrastructure funds, airlines and tokenized note holders can buy.
Aviation links the rest of the pipeline
Tourism, logistics, medicine, fresh produce exports and business travel all depend on air links. A new cargo center, maintenance hangar or training academy serves many of Jordan’s other projects at once, which makes aviation infrastructure one of the strongest anchors for a regional hub.
Why a program, and why now
Air travel and air cargo across the region keep growing, and the assets that serve them are being planned now. A program gives an aviation company a team, a pipeline and the partners to act on it, and the companies that build the next aviation assets in Jordan will run them for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Aviation Companies in Jordan for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Many of them, from tourism to logistics, will depend on air links, air cargo and the services that support them. A Jordanian aviation company that runs one PPP at home can carry the same model to the next airport and cargo hub across the region.

Artificial intelligence
AI runs through every part of aviation infrastructure. It can plan gates, stands and ground crews, forecast passengers and cargo, predict aircraft and equipment failures before they ground a flight and route trucks and drones around an airport. An aviation company can bring those tools into every concession it runs and use the same data to show lenders how the asset performs.
Robotics
Robots already tow aircraft, load baggage, inspect engines and wings and fly cargo in parts of the world. An aviation company can bring drones, autonomous ground vehicles and inspection robots into Jordanian concessions, shorten turnaround and maintenance times and train Jordanian technicians to run and repair the machines.
Tokenization
Tokenization can open aviation assets to many investors. Stakes in a cargo terminal, a maintenance hangar or a fleet of ground equipment can be offered as tokenized notes, paid from fees and leases, so Jordanian and regional investors can share in assets that earn from every flight.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs let an aviation company test new technology on real operations at low cost. It can host a PPP research lab that trials drones, autonomous ground vehicles and AI planning tools, publish every result and carry the pilots that work into its larger concessions.
Unsolicited proposals
A direct proposal lets an aviation company bring a project built around a gap it sees every day, from a cargo village to a drone corridor. It can propose the project as its own, protect the ideas behind it and keep the right to match the best offer at tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the company’s strategy or ground operations team, with a PPP lead at its center and offers built from the services the company already runs.
- PPP team
- A small team of operations, engineering, legal and finance people that covers every aviation and logistics PPP in Jordan’s pipeline.
- Cargo
- Air cargo terminals, cold chains and express hubs built and run as concessions.
- Maintenance
- Hangars, component shops and engine services for airlines across the region.
- Training
- Simulators and academies for pilots, engineers, cabin crew and ground staff.
- Direct proposals
- Aviation projects proposed under Article 15 and prepared with partners who can finance and build them.
- Pilots
- Small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, such as drone networks, solar plants and training centers.
- Partners
- Agreements with airports, airlines, logistics companies, developers, banks and infrastructure funds.
What the company gains
The company gains long concessions with revenue from many customers, assets it controls instead of rents and a reference it can carry to airports and cargo hubs across the region.
It also gains a lead in the technology that will reshape aviation. The first Jordanian aviation companies to run AI-planned, robot-served and tokenized aviation assets will set the standard for how the region’s airports and cargo hubs are built and run.
Next steps
How an aviation company can start
Any aviation company in Jordan can take this guide forward. The first steps use the operations, people and partners the company already has.
01
Mandate
Board approval for a PPP program, with its assets, its services and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with operations, engineering, legal and finance people drawn from the company’s existing teams.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, and the aviation and logistics projects that fit the company.
04
Assets
A shortlist of cargo, maintenance, training and service assets the company could build and run as concessions.
05
Partners
Airports, airlines, logistics companies, developers, banks and infrastructure funds ready to bid together.
06
Pilot
A first small concession or aviation-led direct proposal, taken from idea to submission.
Jordan has the airports, the airlines, a history of aviation PPPs and a law that lets a company propose its own. A PPP program puts your company at the center of how the superintelligent infrastructure future takes off in Jordan.
