Jordan
Risk Level: Three - Caution
[ about risk levels ]
March 2026: Jordanian airspace remains open following large-scale US and Israeli strikes on Iranian military targets beginning Feb 28 and subsequent Iranian retaliation across the region. However, the central Middle East corridor around Jordan has been heavily disrupted, with neighbouring FIRs including Iraq and Israel closed.
See OPSGROUP Briefing: Middle East airspace situation - March 2026
The primary risk is missile and drone activity linked to the Iran conflict, including weapons transiting the region and defensive air defence responses. Jordan sits between Israel and Iraq and has previously been affected by missiles and drones crossing its airspace during regional escalations.

March 2026: Regional escalation following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, with missile and drone activity affecting multiple countries across the Middle East.
