Private Jet Guide to Queen Alia International, Amman (AMM)
Queen Alia International — AMM / OJAI, Amman, Jordan. Queen Alia is Jordan's main international gateway for private flights, with Marka closer to the city and Aqaba serving the south.
Queen Alia International for private flights
Queen Alia International sits south of Amman and handles the country's international private traffic, with business-aviation processing separate from the airline terminal. It takes all common charter aircraft categories and is the practical choice for arrivals from the Gulf, Europe and beyond.
Marka, the older Amman Civil airport, lies much closer to the city centre and is used by smaller aircraft. Whether it fits depends on the aircraft type and the operating permissions in place, so we quote both fields where the mission allows.
In the south, Aqaba's King Hussein International serves the Red Sea, Wadi Rum and Petra region, and a short domestic leg from Amman is often faster than the drive down the desert highway.

Which Amman airport should a private jet use?
Queen Alia International for most international arrivals. Marka is closer to the city but suits smaller aircraft and depends on the permissions in place for that flight.
