Private jet charter in Jordan

Jordan is a small kingdom with a very large reputation, and a business jet that leaves the south of England at breakfast puts its passengers in Amman for a late lunch. Almost everything a visitor comes for sits inside one strip of country roughly 330 km long: the capital on its plateau, the Dead Sea below sea level, the rose-red city of Petra, the sandstone desert of Wadi Rum and the coral of the Red Sea at Aqaba. That compactness is what makes a private aircraft so useful here. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Jordan that means a landing permit from the Jordanian civil aviation regulator, a handler booked at the right one of three airports, a visa plan for every passenger and a straight answer on whether your aircraft can fly the sector in one hop.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Jordan depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, an Embraer Praetor 600 flying nonstop to Amman Marka and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Jordan?

Jordan keeps the same time all year and does not change its clocks. That makes it three hours ahead of Britain in winter and two hours ahead while British Summer Time runs. A seven o'clock departure from London in winter therefore lands in the early afternoon on the Jordanian clock, with the whole working day still in front of the passengers. These are the sectors to Amman Marka on a Praetor 600, gate to gate, from the airfields our clients use most:

Amman has two airports for a private aircraft and the south of the country has a third. The extra distance to either of the others is small enough not to change the aircraft, only the time on the clock:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Jordan

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Amman Marka, listed cheapest first. Every row is a nonstop Praetor 600, the smallest aircraft we price for this run without a fuel stop. London City is left out on purpose, because its short runway is an awkward start for a sector of this length:

 

 

Amman Marka is the anchor, and the other two Jordanian airports sit close behind it. The same aircraft flying from Biggin Hill costs this:

 

 

Private jet flights within Jordan and to its neighbours

A Jordanian itinerary is almost always a loop: a jet from London to Amman, a few days on the ground, a hop south to the Red Sea or a drive to Petra, and home. The sectors below start at Amman Marka, the natural hub, and show how short the country is by air:

Business aviation airports in Jordan

Jordan has three airports that matter to a private traveller, and the useful question is which one fits the trip, not which is the best:

 

Amman Marka was the main airport of the capital until Queen Alia replaced it, and handlers describe it today as the usual choice for domestic, regional and private flights. It lies in the Marka district about 5 km from the centre. The supervising agent on record is MasterJet, and Location Flight Services and Moonjet Flight Support are among the flight support companies listed. One caution comes from the handlers themselves: parking can be limited during diplomatic events and regional summits, so a date that coincides with one is checked before the aircraft is committed.

Queen Alia International is where the airlines go, 30 km south of the capital on the plateau, with two parallel runways of 3,660 metres and the highest fire category on record. It is the right field for a heavy jet or a very large cabin, and for a party that will leave on a scheduled flight the next day. Mixjet Flight Support, Tahseen Aviation Services and Jet Business Solutions are listed as handlers, with Location Flight Services, MasterJet and Link Aero Trading Agency as supervising agents. Handling is compulsory.

King Hussein International in Aqaba is the airport that feels most like a private terminal. A separate general aviation building and a royal pavilion stand beside the airline terminal, and Jordan Private Jets Services runs a VIP terminal there, which the trade press described when it was built as the first privately owned business aviation terminal in the Middle East. It has a lounge, eight rest rooms for executives and crew and a large apron. The airport lies about 9 km north of the town, and the runway is at sea level, which helps on a hot day.

The record shows all three airports open round the clock, all with customs and all as airports of entry. These are the three we use for an international arrival, and for Petra and Wadi Rum the nearest of them is Aqaba. Four points settle most Jordanian arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, visas and customs

Jordan is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, and British passport holders need a visa. These are the points that decide whether the passengers pass through in minutes or are held at the desk:

Coming home is a flight into Britain. A General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and most other nationalities do.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Jordan

Jordan is small, and the useful comparison is not distance but how long the road takes from the apron to the address:

 

Amman, Petra and the Red Sea: what our clients go for

Business comes first in Amman. Ministries, banks, embassies and the head offices of regional companies sit in the capital, and a delegation that lands at Marka expects to be in a meeting the same afternoon.

The city also holds a good day for anyone who has time. The Citadel crowns a hill that holds the Umayyad Palace and a Roman temple of Hercules, and the Roman Theatre downtown, built in the second century, hosts concerts. Outside the city, Jerash keeps a large Roman city, with Hadrian's Arch and an oval forum about 300 feet long, and Madaba keeps a sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map of the Holy Land on the floor of a church.

The Dead Sea is the second reason. Its Jordanian shore is the lowest dry land on earth, and the water is almost ten times saltier than the ocean, so a swimmer floats without trying. Nine international hotels stand along the shore and bring the capacity of the Jordanian side to about 2,800 rooms, which is why the lake works for a long weekend of spa treatments as well as a day trip.

Petra is the third, and the one that sells the country. The Treasury, 24 metres wide and 37 metres tall, stands at the end of the Siq, a gorge that narrows to 3 or 4 metres in places, and the Monastery above the valley is larger still at 45 metres tall. The site is listed by UNESCO. Many visitors see it in a single day from Aqaba or Amman, and the long walk through the Siq is the reason to allow the whole day.

Wadi Rum and Aqaba make the fourth. Wadi Rum covers about 720 square kilometres of sandstone and sand, is also a World Heritage site and has served as the backdrop for films such as Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian and Dune. Aqaba is a different Jordan, a Red Sea resort with more than 30 main dive sites and fringing reefs that run for 25 km towards the Saudi border, and with the waterfront developments of Ayla and Tala Bay for those who prefer the marina to the reef.

 

The Jordanian year: mild winters and a hot Red Sea summer

Jordan has four seasons that matter, and the difference between the plateau and the Red Sea is larger than most visitors expect. The city on its hills is cool and wet in winter, while Aqaba stays warm and the Dead Sea sits somewhere between:

 

The Jordanian calendar: festivals, holidays and the seasons

A few things move private traffic in Jordan, and the lunar holidays move through the year, so the dates are checked before a trip is planned around them:

 

 

Flying to Jordan with a dog or a cat

The cabin is not the problem: the animal sits beside you for the five hours and nothing goes into the hold. The paperwork is the problem. Jordan is not a country that Britain treats as listed, so an animal coming home needs a rabies blood test planned months before the flight.

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, as the return to Britain requires;
• A rabies vaccination given at least 30 days and not more than 12 months before export according to the UK certificate, and at least 21 days before the return to Britain;
• The export health certificate, with the vaccination record attached, and a tapeworm treatment within 14 days of export where the certificate asks for it;
• For the return, a rabies blood test, because Jordan is not listed, and a Great Britain pet health certificate; GOV.UK counts three months from the date of the blood sample before an animal from a non-listed country may travel to Britain;
• For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.

Two practical points are particular to Jordan. Agencies name Queen Alia as the entry point for animals, and a private jet lands at Marka or Aqaba, so we ask the Jordanian veterinary side in writing which airport can receive the animal on your date. An approved travel route for the return is the last item. GOV.UK tells owners to check it, and its guidance does not say how the rule applies to a private aircraft, so we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight. An animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months at the owner's expense.

The dates run in two directions at once. The tapeworm window for the flight home is 24 to 120 hours, so a dog's vet visit falls in Jordan, near the end of the stay, and not before leaving. Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Jordan produces them because so many trips are one-way by nature: a party flies out for a week at Petra and the Red Sea, and the aircraft comes home or moves on.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical Jordanian empty legs:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Jordan a helicopter is a way to reach the edges of a trip, not an airport shuttle. A Jordanian air taxi operator lists helicopter flights from Amman to Petra and from Petra to the Dead Sea, Aqaba and Wadi Rum, on request, together with scenic flights over Petra itself. The question is not whether a machine can do the job but whether the permission exists, because that decides every rotary job in the country. The times below are straight-line estimates:

The operator confirms the route for your date, and we book the helicopter alongside the jet, so the whole itinerary is quoted as one.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Jordan

Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Stansted and Luton send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services. Our experts will consult you on the availability of private jets in a particular city and help you choose the best option.
