Jordan
Risk Level: Three - Caution
[ about risk levels ]
June 2026: The ceasefire has reduced concerns about further missile attacks and sudden airspace closures in the region. Jordan airspace (the OJAC/Amman FIR) remains open and is operating normally.
See OPSGROUP Briefing: Middle East airspace situation - 2026
The primary risk is missile and drone activity linked to regional conflicts. Jordan has previously been affected by missiles and drones crossing its airspace during escalations involving Israel and Iran, and there have been no significant downgrades to recent airspace warnings.
Major events:
Feb-June 2026: Jordan remained open throughout the Iran conflict, although missile and drone activity affected several neighbouring countries.
Apr 2024: Jordan temporarily closed its airspace during the Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel.
Oct 2023: Jordan intercepted drones and missiles transiting its airspace during regional escalation.
