Palestine International Airport (Al-Auja)

- Percentage of passengers who travel by air:

As the only possible way to know the number of Palestinians who travel through airports
is from Jordanian Aviation, the following numbers were obtained from the Jordanian
Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Table 5- 6 shows the percentage of Palestinian air passengers from total passengers in 2014
and 2019. It is to be indicated that Palestinians who travel through Israeli occupation
airports are very limited and thus ignored.
