Sightseeing flights, air taxi transfers and fly-and-dine experiences over Amman, the Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba.
Jordan is a country of dramatic distances: desert valleys, ancient cities, mountain roads, sacred viewpoints, Roman ruins, the Dead Sea and the red sandstone world of Wadi Rum. Travelling by private helicopter allows these landscapes to be seen with rare clarity, while also reducing the time and complexity of overland movement.
Our Jordan by Private Helicopter service is designed for travellers who want to experience the country from above, with private sightseeing flights, air taxi transfers, fly-and-dine journeys and special occasion helicopter experiences departing from Amman.
Fleet
The helicopter operations presented in the source material are centred on compact private sightseeing aircraft, including the Robinson R44, referenced in the Amman city flight experiences.
The helicopter can accommodate up to three passengers, with a total passenger weight limit of 210 kg. This makes it particularly suitable for couples, small families, individual travellers, photographers, VIP guests and private experiences where intimacy and visibility matter.
The brochure also introduces the possibility of larger helicopters, subject to request and operational confirmation, although detailed specifications are not provided in the attached material.
Flights are operated by highly experienced helicopter pilots, with the source material presenting pilots with extensive aviation backgrounds and thousands of flying hours across helicopter types.

Exclusive Elite Travel Perspective
For Exclusive Elite Travel clients, helicopter access in Jordan is most valuable when used as part of a carefully composed private itinerary. It can transform a short stay in Amman, add a rare aerial dimension to a cultural journey, shorten transfers to remote locations, or create a memorable arrival for a private celebration.
The experience is especially suited to travellers interested in Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Mount Nebo, Jerash, Umm Qais, Ajloun and Aqaba, with each route adapted to timing, weather, passenger profile and the wider travel programme.
A helicopter request begins with the route, date, number of passengers and purpose of the flight. From there, timing, permissions, passenger weight, landing point and onward arrangements can be coordinated with discretion.
