[edit] History
The airline was established in 2000 and started operations in October 2000. It launched services from Amman as the first privately owned charter airline in Jordan. Jordan Aviation operates a varied route network with a worldwide AOC. UN Peacekeepers are carried extensively on the widebody Fleet and the company also is involved in "wet-leasing" aircraft to air carriers who need extra capacity. Holiday Charter Flights are also operated from its bases in Amman. Jordan Aviation is owned by Mohamed Al-Khashman (General Manager and Chief Executive) and Hazem Alrasekh, and has over 700 employees (at June 2010). Scheduled services were operated for a period of time from Aqaba to the Persian Gulf region and North Africa which commenced in June 2006. The company has grown considerably, as the fleet listing below shows. Additional aircraft are planned to enter service and also expansion in to other market segments is in process. In December 2011 the European Commission air safety regulators blacklisted the airline until further notice due to severe safety concerns.[2]
