Arab Wings

What Arab Wings does

Arab Wings is a private aviation company headquartered at Amman Civil Airport (Marka) in Jordan, founded in 1975 as the first private jet charter operator in the Middle East. The company operates a fleet of 19+ business jets across three categories — Ultra Long-Range (Gulfstream G550, Embraer Lineage 1000), Heavy Jets (Embraer Legacy 650, Challenger 605/604), and Mid-Size Jets (Hawker 800XP) — providing services across 200+ destinations. Its core offerings include Private Jet Charter, Aircraft Management, Aircraft Maintenance, Medical Evacuation (with medically configured aircraft functioning as flying ICUs), Ground Operations Supervision, and Special Missions. Technical capabilities are anchored by dual-jurisdiction regulatory approvals: JCAR Part 145 and OTAR Part 145 maintenance certifications, JCAR Part-M Subpart G and OTAR Part 39 CAMO approvals, and IS-BAO operational certification from the International Business Aviation Council.

The company's business model combines transactional revenue (per-flight charter and medevac fees) with recurring managed services (aircraft management fees, long-term Special Missions contracts with humanitarian and energy clients, and maintenance services under approved AMO/CAMO frameworks). Pricing is uniformly quote-based, customized to aircraft type, route, passenger count, and operational complexity; Empty Leg offerings provide a discounted alternative. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for VIP and corporate charter clients via a 24/7 team and website quote requests, and enterprise field sales for humanitarian organizations (UN agencies, World Food Programme), oil and gas operators, and government entities requiring complex mission support. Arab Wings is a member of the International Wings Group (IWG), a premium aviation network that also includes its wholly-owned subsidiary Gulf Wings (established 2009) and Exclusive Travel (added 2018). The company employs 130 people including licensed engineers, pilots, aviation planners, safety managers, and client service specialists.
