1.2 Jordan Regulatory Departments
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with representative government. The reigning monarch is the head of state, the chief executive and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The king exercises his executive authority through the prime minister and the Council of Ministers, or cabinet. The cabinet, meanwhile, is responsible before the elected House of Deputies which, along with the House of Notables (Senate), constitutes the legislative branch of the government. The judicial branch is an independent branch of the government.
Since 1989, all elements of the Jordanian political spectrum have embarked together on a road to greater democracy, liberalization and consensus building. These reforms, which were guided by the late King Hussein, have placed Jordan on an irreversible road to democratization. The result has been greater empowerment and involvement of everyday citizens in Jordan’s civic life, contributing to increased stability and institutionalization which will benefit the country far into the future.
The Executive Branch
The reigning monarch, King Abdullah, is the chief executive. The king exercises his executive authority by appointing the prime minister, who then organizes a cabinet of ministers to be appointed by the king. The prime minister and the cabinet must then be approved by the Lower House of Parliament, the House of Deputies. If the House of Deputies votes against the prime minister, he and his entire cabinet must resign. The Lower House can also vote any individual minister out of office. The king also appoints all of the members of the Upper House of Parliament, known as the House of Notables, or Senate. The number of senators cannot exceed one-half the number of elected representatives.
The Constitution stipulates that the reigning monarch must approve laws before they can take effect, although his power of veto can be overridden by a two-thirds majority of both houses of Parliament. The king also authorizes the appointment and dismissal of judges, regional governors and the mayor of Amman, and he approves constitutional amendments, declares war and is commander-in-chief of the armed forces. As head of state, the king concludes and ratifies treaties and agreements, with the approval of the cabinet and Parliament. The king is also entitled to grant special pardons and amnesties.
The throne of the Kingdom is passed down through inheritance within the dynasty of King Abdullah bin al-Hussein in the direct line of his male heirs. Since 1921, Jordan has been ruled by four monarchs: King Abdullah (1921-51), son of Sharif Hussein of Mecca and King of the Arabs; King Talal bin Abdullah (1951-52), eldest son of King Abdullah; King Hussein bin Talal (1952-1999), eldest son of King Talal; and, King Abdullah bin Al-Hussein (February 7, 1999-present), eldest son of King Hussein.

Civil Airports in Jordan
Queen Alia airport - Amman
The Jordanian government has signed a US$ 700 million agreement with the AIG (Airport International Group) to rehabilitate, operate and expand the existing Queen Alia International Airport, QAIA, in what is described as Jordan’s largest ever BOT agreement.
The AIG consortium consists of the Edgo Group, Joannou & Paraskevaides (Overseas) Limited, Noor Financial Investment Company, J&P-Avax, Abu Dhabi Investment Company, and Aeroports de Paris Management, who won the tender launched by the Government of Jordan in April 2007 and signed the Rehabilitation, Expansion and Operation Agreement on May 19, 2007. The new facility is covering an area of over 85000 sq meters. Under the 25 year old concession agreement, AIG will be responsible for all aspects of the operation of the airport, transforming it into a world class airport that adheres to international standards.
From his part, Chairman of AIG, Salem Al Ameri said “An early transitional period has been planned, starting with the implementation of visible improvements with quicker passenger flows, upgrades to the quality of the current facilities and the development of new services or enhancement of existing ones.” The number of passengers travelling through Queen Alia International Airport increased by 9 per cent during 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, according Queen Alia International Airport website. 73,125 aircraft movements in 2014 with 7,089,008 passengers and more than 40 airlines (passenger, charter and cargo). The estimated investment of USD 750 million in the construction of the new terminal (2013). Currently expansion with estimated cost of USD 100 million. (http://www.amman-airport.com)
Marka Airport – Amman
The airport was founded in 1950 by the British as a joint military civilian airport. In 2009, Jordan Airports Company officially assumed managerial and operational responsibility for Amman Civil Airport. It mainly serves now as a regional airport servicing domestic and nearby international routes, as well as charter and private VIP flights. In coordination with international specialized consultants, the company has prepared a comprehensive master plan for Amman Civil Airport, which includes several capital projects. The company began the implementation of the first phase of the master plan to develop the facilities at the Airport; in 2012 the VIP Lounge was renovated and operated in a new spirit and a new level of services to position it as one of the most exceptional VIP Terminals in the region. In 2013 the new airport entrance project was delivered and in October 2013 the works started to rehabilitate the arrivals terminal and expand the duty-free shops at the airport, in addition to other several infrastructure and air side projects. The airport is the home to airlines such as Royal Wings, Jordan Aviation and Arab Wings, and is operational 24 hours a day.
King Hussein Int'l Airport – Aqaba
Aqaba Airport (also known as King Hussein Int'l Airport) is an airport located in the vicinity of Industrial City, northern suburb of Aqaba in Jordan. The location of Aqaba is unusual, for within a 15 miles (24 km) radius there are three other countries, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Israel. The airport has a single runway equipped with a category 1 instrument landing system (ILS). Thanks to its normally excellent weather conditions, the airport is rarely closed, though strong southerly winds bring sandstorms across the Red Sea from Egypt.
The airport has a single 28,000 sq. ft. (2,600 m2) terminal building with just one departure gate and one baggage carousel, though the building is being extended. The facilities can cope when there is one aircraft to be handled, but on some occasions when there are three aircraft being turned around simultaneously things can become somewhat crowded. The capacity of the Terminal at present is 1.5 million passengers a year. There are also separate buildings for General Aviation and a Royal Pavilion – King Abdullah II owns a palace along the shoreline and regularly visits. The Royal Jordanian Air Academy are regular visitors on land-away cross country training exercises. Annual passenger figures have risen from around 20,000 per year in the early days to over 90,000 in the year 2000. There are currently around 3,000 aircraft movements a year. A significant proportion of these are training flights, including those of the Royal Jordanian Air Force.
The largest operator at Aqaba is Royal Jordanian. It operates about 10 flights a week to Amman, though extras are frequently scheduled, sometimes to coincide with passenger changeover on cruise ships. The airline operates Embraer E175 Regional Jets that undertake the journey in 45 minutes. These jets have replaced the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft used by the Royal Wings subsidiary and have a total of 72 seats, 10 of which are business class. The airline also undertakes about six charter flights to Europe, with European charter airlines adding a further dozen. German carriers are particularly well represented. Aqaba is an airport that can handle the largest

Royal Jordanian Airlines--known until 1987 as Alia--was the national carrier. Wholly owned by the government and operating since 1946, Royal Jordanian by 1988 had become one of the major Middle Eastern air carriers.
Jordan had two other minor airlines: Arab Air Cargo and Arab Wings. Arab Air Cargo was owned in equal shares by Royal Jordanian and Iraqi Airways. Arab Wings, a passenger charter service, was owned by Royal Jordanian (88 percent) and the Sultanate of Oman (12 percent). The latter company also included a flying ambulance service. There were nineteen usable airfields in Jordan in 1988, of which fourteen had permanent surface runways. Of these, two near Amman were major airfields: the Queen Alia International Airport, opened in 1983 and located at Al Jizah, thirty kilometers south of Amman, and the old international airport at Marka, King Abdullah Airport, used primarily by the Royal Jordanian Air Force.

Jordan – Syrian borders:
- The Daraa Border Crossing is an international border crossing between Syria and Jordan. It is located between the cities of Daraa in Syria and Ar Ramtha in Jordan. It is situated along the Damascus-Amman section of the Hejaz Railway.
- The Nasib Border Crossing is an international border crossing between Syria and Jordan. It is one of the busiest border crossings in Syria and is situated on the Damascus-Amman international highway. It is the main crossing for Syrian exports to Jordan and the GCC countries.
Jordan – Iraqi borders:
Karameh Border Crossing is the only border crossing between Jordan and Iraq. On the Iraqi side it is called the Turaibil Border Compound .The crossing served about 800,000 passengers in the year 2010 according to Al-Arab Al-Yawm newspaper. It connects the Jordanian town of Ruwaished to the Iraqi town of Turaibil. The border crossing is about 320 km (199 miles) from Jordan's capital Amman and 575 km (357 miles) from the Iraqi capital Baghdad. On 22 June 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant assaulted the border crossing and clashed with the Iraqi Army in an attempt to capture the crossing.
Due to the current security situation in both Iraqi and Syria borders are irregularly open, therefore cross border operations is a big challenge in terms of sending food assistance.
Being that Jordan is a transit country for goods and services to the Palestinian territories and Iraq, Jordan maintains a well-developed
transportation infrastructure. Jordan ranked as having the 35th best infrastructure in the world, one of the highest rankings in the developing
world, according to the World Economic Forum's Index of Economic Competitiveness. It even beat several developed countries like Israel, Italy,
Ireland, Greece and it was only two places behind the United Kingdom.

2.4 Jordan Railway Assessment
Jordan Railway Assessment
A National Rail System was approved by the Jordanian Government which will connect all major cities and towns by passenger and cargo rail. There are two lines to be constructed. The North-South Line passing through Mafraq, Zarqa, Amman, Maan, and Aqaba with international connections to Syria and Saudi Arabia. The East-West Line will run from Mafraq, Irbid, and Azraq with international connections to Iraq and possibly Israel. The national rail system will be completed by 2013. These routes are planned to be electrified. There are also plans for a light rail system operating between Amman and Zarqa and a funicular and a three line metro system for Amman.
Two connected but non-contiguously operated sections of the Hedjaz Railway exist:
- from Ammanin Jordan to Syria, as the "Hedjaz Jordan Railway."
- from phosphatemines near Ma'an to the Gulf of Aqaba as the "Aqaba Railway."
- 507 km from the Phosphate fields to the Port of Aqapa.
Jordan Rail Ways
Total: 507 km - narrow gauge of 1,050 mm (3 ft 5 11⁄32 in) (2008) Railway companies in Jordan are:
- Hedjaz Jordan Railway: The only passenger railway currently operating in Jordan, connecting Amman to Damascus, in Syria,and passing through Zarqa and Mafraq. It is narrow gauge; the rest of the Syrian network uses 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge.
- Aqaba Railway Corporation: The Aqaba Railway Corporation is a railway operating in southern Jordan. The railway was formed in 1979 to transport phosphate to the port in Aqaba. It uses the tracks of the Hejaz Railway.
In 1908 the Ottoman Empire built the Hejaz Railway. That ran from Damascus to Medina. After World War I and the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the railway never operated south of Ma'an. The Hedjaz Jordan Railway operated the tracks of the Hejaz railway in Jordan.[1] In 1975 the railway built a branch from Ma'an to Aqaba, a port city on the Gulf of Aqaba. In 1979 the Aqaba Railway Corporation (ARC) was incorporated and took over the route from Abiad to Aqaba. The purpose of the ARC was to transport phosphates from mines near Abiad and Ma'an to the port in Aqaba. The ARC operated only freight trains powered by GE U17C diesel locomotives.
The Jordanian government has begun acquiring land for new rail routes. Following a study by BNP Paribas, three routes are planned, which are expected to be tendered later in 2010. The three routes are:[1]
1. From the Syrian border, via Zarqa, to the Saudi border; replacing part of the Hedjaz Railway;
2. Connecting the first line to Aqaba, and from Mafraq to Irbid, replacing another part of the Hedjaz Railway;
3. A link to the Iraqi border.
However, in late 2010 the government announced an economic relief package and following the 2011 Jordanian protests it was decided to reduce the expected three year capital investment plan in the national railway network by 72 percent, partly to fund the relief package. Therefore, it is unclear when the ambitions railway expansion plan will be carried out.
There are also plans for a light rail system operating between Amman and Zarqa and a funicular and metro line in Amman.
Currently, two connected but non-contiguously operated sections of the Hedjaz Railway exist:
- from Amman in Jordan to Syria, as the "Hedjaz Jordan Railway."
- from phosphate mines near Ma'an to the Gulf of Aqaba as the "Aqaba Railway."
In August 2011, Jordanian government approved the construction of the railway from Aqaba to the Iraqi border (near Trebil). The Iraqis in the meantime started the construction of the line from the border to their current railhead at Ramadi.

Shitrit had announced his intentions to propose a new standard gauge railway to connect Haifa, Israel, to Irbid, Jordan, passing through King Hussein Bridge and Jenin, a project that could cost as much as $300 million (for the Jordanian portion of the line). Nseirat responded to Shitrit's comments with a denial, stating that there have not been any discussions between the two nations on such a project and no plans for such a connection have been proposed by anyone in the Jordanian government. Shitrit plans to make his formal proposal at a conference for Mediterranean transport ministers in Marrakesh on December 20. The railway is still not completed.
- The Public Transport Regulatory Commission has entered into an agreement with a private sector consortium, following a competitive bidding process, to develop a light rail system between the Jordanian capital Amman and nearby industrial city of Zarqa. This light rail project will be the first urban rail public-private partnership (PPP) in the Middle East. The system will be operated using1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) (standard gauge) electrically propelled light rail vehicles on a double track. The total length of the LRS system will be approximately 25 kilometers. The majority of the LRS route, between Al-Mahatta (in Amman) and New Zarqa will be constructed within the existing Hedjaz Railway right-of-way (22.2 kilometers). The Public Transport Regulatory Commission estimates that the new system will carry about 45,000 passengers a day in its first year. Canada's CPCS was the lead advisor to the PTRC in this PPP transaction.
- CPCS is also advising the Government of Jordan in the privatization of the Aqaba Railway Corporation, running from Ma'an to Aqaba. This railway is used to transport phosphate from mines located in Ma'an. The commission plans to modernize the old 1,050 mm (3 ft 5 11⁄32 in) narrow gauge railway and replace it with new track.

Milling Company: Crown Flour Mills
Crown Flour Mills, more commonly known as CFM, initiated its operations in 1952 as a modest mill capable of milling 40 tons of wheat per day. The original machines were all branded "Robinson", the British top-of-the-line equipment at that time. Only a few changes occurred between then and the early 1990s. In 1991, after 25 years of government wheat import controls, flour subsidies, and direct bread controls, the Lebanese Government liberalized the imports of wheat and allowed the private mills to operate freely on the Lebanese Market. Since that point, Lebanon's Milling Industry went through a major restructuring and reinvestment period, and witnessed an increase of the number of mills operating in Lebanon, which reached today a total of thirteen. It was at that time that started the great march of Crown Flour Mills into Modernization, Automation, Quality Control, Sanitation, ISO and HACCP Certifications and into many other fields that contributed to the current standing of CFM.
Since 1992 CFM has invested carefully and judiciously more than US$ 20 million in new machinery, building extension, a new silos storage for wheat storage and continuous employee training. The mill incorporates the latest in Employee Safety Concepts, Automation and Process Control. CFM has selected the best milling equipment from GBS Group spa, a first class Italian machinery producer. In order to ensure that CFM is continuously maintaining its excellent product quality and service, state-of-the-art technologies, based on a well balanced scheme combining creativity and innovation, were the backbone of the mill-reengineering project. All this makes CFM one of the most modern and competitive mills in the Middle East.

Summary of Role and Services: Diversified Milling Lines - CFM has three milling lines:
Significant Fact Sheet Today CFM grinds an average of 10,000 mt of wheat every month. The mill operates 6 days a week, 24 hours a day. CFM has regular stops for housekeeping and maintenance. With a maximum milling capacity of 15,000 mt per month, CFM has a capability utilization of 70% capacity. CFM sells more than 20 different products on the local market to customers all over Lebanon. In 1952 the mill was located outside the city limits; today as Beirut expanded it is situated in a prime location, conveniently at a three kilometers distance from the port. Because of the limited land available, CFM was able to make very efficient use of space. |

Please Note: WFP/Logistics Cluster maintain complete impartiality and are not in a position to endorse,comment on any company's suitability as a reputable service provider.
3.1 Jordan Fuel
Fuel Overview
The country is not an oil nor gas producer. Fuel is imported, mainly from the Gulf countries and Iraq, by the Jordanian Petroleum Refinery Company (JPRC) and distributed to the market. The JPRC is a is semi-governmental entity, and all fuel prices are controlled by the government. Recently the government has signed agreements with two private distributors to import fuel, but in limited quantities and the JPRC remains the main source of imported fuel.
The distribution activity represents the link between the production and the refining processes internally, and between all JPRC agents, private distributors throughout the Kingdom, by providing them with all their needs of petroleum products and gas.
Sale of Petroleum Products
The sale of any petroleum product goes through a process starting by taking in the order and passing it on to the loading and transport departments and ensuring its delivery under any circumstances, in addition to preparing and issuing monthly bills to customers and following up bills settlements.
The company owns ten fuel and service stations, located in the following areas: Um al Heeran, Al Misdar, Marka, Karak, a station located in the refinery site in Zarqa, AL Ameriyah and there are stations under construction in Irbid, Ma'an and, at Al Azraq.
Sale of LPG Cylinders (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
The company provides gas distributors with LPG cylinders and monitors the sales operations to ensure that handling and delivery of cylinders to the consumers is being done in compliance with safety standards and regulations.
The Gas Section in the distribution department is also responsible for effecting market studies and research about the local market needs of cylinders and preparing regular sales reports about all LPG distributors operations.
Distributors can fill their cylinders in three LPG stations owned by JPRC and located in: Amman, Irbid and, at Zarqa with a total filling capacity of (100) thousand cylinder every (8) hours reaching (300) thousand cylinders in peak and emergency situations.
Airport Refuelling Stations
The company’s refuelling stations provides airlines with two kinds of Jet Fuel in all Jordanian Civil Airports: QAIA, King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba and Marka Civil Aviation Airport.
- JETA-1 fuel, produced in the refinery site at Zarqa and available in all three Civil Airports where more than (19) thousand planes are being refuelled each year with this fuel.
- AVGAS 100LL, imported and only available in Marka Civil Airport where annually more than (10) thousand planes are being refuelled in addition to providing King Hussein Military Air Base with this type of fuel.
Jet Fuel handling operation, in all its stages and up till the refuelling phase, is conducted under the following conditions:
- Compliance of the fuel with the International Standards such as ASTM & DEFSTAN.
- Fuel has to be clean and dry.
- Applying maximum security and safety measures during refuelling operations.
All refuelling stations are subject to periodic inspection by International Organizations and Associations and from airlines representatives.
Lube Oils
Lube Oils produced by JPRC are being sold locally and regionally, based on the company’s marketing plans aiming at securing the biggest possible share of these markets supported by advertising campaigns and promotional material as well as organizing seminars and conferences attended by the major agents to keep them abreast of the latest developments in the lube oils production in the company.
JPRC attempts to comply with International Standards in producing its lube oils and always strives to produce new oils compatible with the latest automotive technology and according to the market needs.
Repair & Maintenance of Fuel Stations
This section is responsible for supervising the creation of the company's new stations in coordination with the specialized authorities, until mounting the dispensing pumps and ensuring their functionality. The post station creation phase is also part of the section's duties as it keeps track and carries maintenance checks on all installed pumps to guarantee their compliance with the public safety requirements.
Aqaba Depots
These depots receive and store the petroleum products imported by sea or road transport until they are transported and unloaded in the refinery tanks or distributed according to the demand of fuel stations and other different companies in the Southern region of the Kingdom. In addition to that, the Aqaba offices, checks on all mounted dispensing pumps ensuring that the quality and quantities of sold products are in compliance with the set standards.

Fuel Pricing
Fuel prices are based on international and revised on monthly bases. No shortage as the sourced of supplies are around the country (Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries).
Local supply (domestic refinery production and imports combined) meets the needs of the country, especially for aviation and ground fuels
Fuel prices in Jordan are set by the government and reviewed on a monthly basis to reflect international gas prices on the local prices. In November 2012 the Cabinet made the decision to remove subsidy on oil derivatives which resulted in a price hike of several fuel products.

Electricity and Power
Electricity in Jordan is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Jordan with a device that does not accept 230 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter. There are three main types of voltage converter. Resistor-network converters will usually be advertised as supporting something like 50-1600 Watts. They are light-weight and support high-wattage electrical appliances like hair dryers and irons. However, they can only be used for short periods of time and are not ideal for digital devices. Transformers will have a much lower maximum Watt rating, usually 50 or 100. Transformers can often be used continuously and provide better electricity for low wattage appliances like battery chargers, radios, laptop computers, cameras, mp3 players and camcorders. However, they are heavy because they contain large iron rods and lots of copper wire. Some companies sell combination converters that include both a resistor network and a transformer in the same package. This kind of converter will usually come with a switch that switches between the two modes. If you absolutely need both types of converter, then this is the type to buy
