Turkey Replaces Jordan as Middle East Business Jet Safe-Haven Hub — Amman OJAI Q1 Movements Actually Decline 37.3%, March Only 7 Movements
Analysis
During the Iran conflict, Jordan's Amman OJAI did not absorb Middle East diversion flow — it was itself heavily impacted. AviGo data shows OJAI Q1 2026 business jet movements at 126, YoY −37.3%, with March at just 7 movements (YoY −91.5%). The reason is clear: Jordanian airspace was equally closed and sits within Iranian missile range. WingX data confirms Turkey is the actual alternative hub — substantial business jet flow diverted to Turkey for safe-haven. AirAsia also redirected long-range expansion from Bahrain to Istanbul. This has direct decision-making implications for operators and brokers relying on Jordan as a Middle East diversion option. Confidence ★★★.
