Private Jet Charter in Jordan

Jordan is a two-airport charter market in practice: Amman for business, government and medical traffic, and Aqaba for the Red Sea coast and Petra.

Private aviation in Jordan

Queen Alia International (OJAI/AMM) is the main gateway, around 35 kilometres south of central Amman, with business aviation handling and full customs. Marka (OJAM), closer to the city, is used selectively and depends on prior permission and aircraft type. Amman carries a high share of medical and repatriation traffic alongside corporate and institutional movements, which is why turnaround planning and ambulance access matter as much as cabin choice.

Aqaba (OJAQ/AQJ) is the practical arrival point for the Red Sea resorts, the Wadi Rum desert and Petra, which is roughly a two-hour drive north. It is quieter than Amman, works well for short Gulf and Egyptian sectors, and is a sensible reposition point when Amman is congested.

Regional airspace conditions change how Jordan trips are flown. Routings, alternates and fuel planning are reviewed against current NOTAMs on each trip rather than assumed from a previous flight, and the operating crew's duty limits are checked before a same-day return is offered.

Airports used in Jordan

• OJAI / AMM — Queen Alia International, Amman
• OJAM — Amman Marka
• OJAQ / AQJ — King Hussein International, Aqaba

Permits, slots, customs and handling

• Landing and overflight permits are filed by the operating AOC holder; regional airspace changes can affect routing and fuel planning on short notice.
• Medical movements need coordination with the receiving or transferring hospital, ambulance access to the aircraft and documented handovers — planned as one movement, not two.
• Customs and immigration are handled at the terminal used by the handling agent; passenger visa requirements depend on nationality.
• Aqaba is often a useful reposition or fuel point for onward Egyptian and Saudi Red Sea legs.

Seasonal demand

March to May and September to November are the most comfortable months and the busiest for tourism around Petra and Wadi Rum. Summer is hot inland and very hot in Aqaba; winter brings occasional snow and low-visibility disruption to Amman, which can affect slots and diversions.

Frequently asked questions

Which airport is better for Petra?

Aqaba is closer — roughly two hours by road — and quieter. Amman works when the trip combines Petra with business in the capital or with an onward long-haul departure.

Can you arrange a medical transfer out of Amman?

Yes. Amman is a regular origin and destination for ICU and stretcher transfers, and we plan bed-to-bed movements with the hospitals rather than only the flight.

Does regional airspace affect Jordan flights?

It can affect routing, flight time and alternates. We check current restrictions for each trip and tell you when a routing adds meaningful block time.
