Airline, VIP and Charter Flight Catering Across Jordan
Aviation catering in Jordan is built around ramp access and hi-loader boarding at wide-body stands: uplifts board directly on board, not at the foot of the aircraft. Amman's runway runs to 3660 metres, sized for the widest airframes flying inflight and charter programmes through the country.

How Aviation Catering Runs Across Jordan
Jordan's aviation catering runs across Amman and Aqaba, two stations built to a wide-body aerodrome reference code and holding two runway configurations between Amman's own fields. Amman (AMM/OJAI) carries a 3660-metre runway across two runways, the longest in the country, sized for scheduled wide-body inflight traffic and diversions alike. Amman's second field (ADJ/OJAM) adds a 3275-metre runway for a further layer of capacity, while Aqaba (AQJ/OJAQ), at 3004 metres, serves the south of the country and hosts Ayla Aviation and JP Jets - Jordanian Private Jets VIP Lounge for business aviation traffic.
An uplift request moves through a single ops desk regardless of which field takes the aircraft: flight data comes in, the kitchen builds the load to cabin and crew specification, and cold chain is held from production to galley. Airline catering companies operating scheduled or ad hoc rotations through Amman or Aqaba route the same request through that desk, whether the aircraft is a scheduled service, a diversion or a charter movement.
Ground handling services at each station load by hi-loader to galley height, not at the foot of the aircraft, so the tray sets, crew meals and cabin sets reach the door in the sequence the galleys are built.

One Operation, Five Kinds of Flying in Jordan
Amman and Aqaba's aprons carry five kinds of flying under one operation: scheduled airline catering, government flight catering, royal flight catering, charter flight catering and private jet catering, each routed to the same ops desk and the same cold chain.
01
Government Flight Catering at Jordan's Airfields
State and government flights uplifted through Jordan's stations move through cleared staff and sealed loads, with one named coordinator holding protocol from the production kitchen to the galley door. Chain of custody is documented across the full movement.

Royal and VVIP Flight Catering in the Kingdom
Royal household and VVIP movements through Jordan's fields carry household dietary requirements leg to leg, with a kitchen brigade briefed to each movement ahead of boarding. Service is held to the household standard from galley to cabin.

03
Wide-Body Charter Catering Through Jordan's Stations
Charter airlines, ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions load a full three-cabin uplift through Amman or Aqaba, staged in the order the galleys are laid out. Season and mission type are handled without altering the process.

04
Scheduled and Ad Hoc Airline Catering at Amman
Scheduled carriers, ad hoc uplifts, diversions and technical stops move through Amman and Aqaba on the same outstation catering setup, covering flight crew, cabin crew and cargo crew meal sets. AOG requests route through the same ops desk without a separate process.
Commercial airlines →
05
Business Aviation Catering at Jordan's FBOs
Business aviation movements are handled by our dedicated private-jet branch, delivered into Ayla Aviation and JP Jets - Jordanian Private Jets VIP Lounge at Aqaba on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. Amman's fields take the same branch for GA traffic.

This table sets Jordan's stations side by side on runway length, runway count and aerodrome reference code, so an operator can see which field takes a wide-body movement, which boards closest to a production kitchen, and which serves an FBO.

|---|---|---|---|
| Amman (AMM)AMM · OJAI | 3,660 m | No | wide-body |

Ordering Airline Catering: Jordan
Send flight number, ETA, passenger and crew count per cabin, aircraft type, stand and any special meal codes to the Jordan ops desk. Requests covering Amman, Amman's second field or Aqaba are handled through the same intake, whether the movement is a scheduled inflight service, a government or royal movement, a charter or an FBO uplift at Aqaba. The desk confirms the load against the aircraft's cabin configuration and the stand assigned, then issues the specification back for sign-off before the uplift is built. Submit a request through the quote form to open a line with the desk directly.
Jordan Airline Catering Questions
What Jordan's Ops Desks Ask Us
Ask operations directly →Which Jordan airports take a wide-body uplift?
Amman's two fields (AMM/OJAI and ADJ/OJAM) and Aqaba (AQJ/OJAQ) are all built to a wide-body aerodrome reference code. AMM carries the longest runway in the country at 3660 metres.
Can catering be loaded directly onto the aircraft rather than left at the foot of the stand?
Yes. Loading across Jordan's stations is by hi-loader to galley height, so the uplift boards on the aircraft rather than being handed off at ground level.
Does Jordan handle government and royal flight catering?
Yes. Government, state and royal household movements are handled with cleared staff, sealed loads and a named coordinator holding protocol from kitchen to galley door.
Is private jet catering available at Aqaba?
Yes. Aqaba hosts Ayla Aviation and JP Jets - Jordanian Private Jets VIP Lounge, and business aviation movements there are handled by our dedicated private-jet branch on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
What do we need to submit for a charter or diversion uplift in Jordan?
Flight number, ETA, passenger and crew count per cabin, aircraft type, stand and special meal codes, sent to the Jordan ops desk for confirmation against the assigned stand.
