Arab Wings

Corporate Profile: Arab Wings

Founded in 1975 as a business jet subsidiary of Royal Jordanian, Arab Wings has evolved into an independent icon of private aviation. Headquartered at Amman Civil Airport (Marka), it is the flagship operator of the International Wings Group (IWG). As of 2026, it remains the regional leader in specialized air transportation, offering a “one-stop-shop” for VVIP travel, medical emergencies, and aircraft management.

The 2026 Operational Footprint

By early 2026, Arab Wings has solidified its status as a global “boutique” operator, successfully navigating the post-pandemic surge in private travel:

• The IWG Ecosystem: Arab Wings is part of a vertically integrated aviation group that includes Gulf Wings (UAE-based sister company), the Royal Jordanian Air Academy, and Queen Noor Civil Aviation Technical College. This allows for internal pilot training and high-tier technical support that few regional rivals can match.
• Special Missions Leader: In 2026, the company continues to be the primary provider for the “Amman Medical Bridge,” operating life-saving Air Ambulance missions across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe with a dedicated fleet of flying ICUs.
• Expanded Handling: Beyond its own fleet, Arab Wings has expanded its FBO (Fixed Base Operation) and ground handling services to all airports in Jordan, including Queen Alia (AMM) and Aqaba (AQJ), serving as the preferred handler for visiting diplomatic and royal flights.

Fleet and Technical Excellence

Arab Wings manages a diverse and sophisticated fleet designed for every mission profile, from regional “shuttles” to ultra-long-haul intercontinental travel:

1. VVIP Airliners: The crown jewel of the managed fleet is the Boeing 737-700 BBJ (Business Jet) and the Embraer Lineage 1000, offering apartment-style space for heads of state and large delegations.
2. Ultra-Long Range: The Bombardier Global 5000 and Gulfstream G550 provide non-stop connectivity between Amman and North America or East Asia.
3. The Mid-Size Workhorses: The fleet features a heavy concentration of Bombardier Challenger 604/605 and Embraer Legacy 600/650 jets, which are the most requested aircraft for regional corporate missions.
4. Light Jets & Turboprops: For shorter hops and specialized missions, the company operates Hawker 800XP jets and Beechcraft Super King Air turboprops.

Service Excellence: “The Art of Private Flying”

• Turnkey Aircraft Management: For aircraft owners, Arab Wings provides “hassle-free” ownership, handling everything from crew recruitment and international permits to maintenance and charter revenue generation.
• Safety First: As of 2026, Arab Wings maintains a perfect safety record and is certified by the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) and various international bodies, adhering to EASA-equivalent standards.
• Discreet Luxury: The airline is famous for its “Invisible Service,” where every detail—from custom catering to ground limousine transfers—is handled with the highest level of confidentiality and precision.
