Mr. Claude assumes his current role in succession of Mr. Kjeld Binger, who shall remain associated with Airport International Group as Senior Advisor to the Board.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Claude said, “I am delighted to be returning to Jordan – a country I called home for five years – and to the Airport International Group family with whom I have witnessed some of the most pivotal stages of the QAIA New Terminal project. I would like to thank my colleague Mr. Kjeld Binger for his exemplary leadership over the past eight years, and I look forward to building on the proud achievements the team has marked since being assigned the project in 2007. We have many new plans to implement, milestones to reach and records to break, and I am confident that, with the support of the Government of Jordan and the employees, partners and shareholders involved in the project, the sky is the limit. We will continue to work together to reaffirm QAIA’s standing as the Kingdom’s prime gateway to the world for the benefit of our passengers and the Jordanian public at large.”
