Amman to Larnaca is 414 km and about 56 minutes in the air, nonstop on a super-midsize cabin. It is one of the shortest international sectors we fly, and flying it northwards has a particular quality: Larnaca is where our own operation lives, so the aeroplane that sets you down is frequently ending its day rather than starting a positioning leg home. That is the single fact worth pressing us on when you compare quotations. Whole aircraft from €5 800 one way, our own floor with the working shown.

Under the hour from the Jordanian plateau to the Cypriot coast, without a connection and without a terminal in the usual sense of the word. Send the party, the date and the hour you would like to be on the ground at Larnaca, and we will tell you what is genuinely in the region on that day rather than what we would like to be.
REQUEST A QUOTEFifty-six minutes is barely a flight at all by the standards of the class that operates it, and nothing about the sector itself is demanding. What decides your quotation is where the aeroplane begins its day and what it is expected to do after it has left you at Larnaca. Northbound those two questions frequently have the pleasant answer, because Cyprus is the end of the chain rather than a point along it – and an aircraft that is coming home costs differently from one that has to go somewhere else afterwards.
One obvious field at each end, with a second Cypriot option that matters a great deal to some parties and not at all to others. The thing to tell us is where you are sleeping on Cyprus, not which airport you expect to land at.
| Field | Code | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amman Queen Alia | AMM / OJAI | Departure | The main Jordanian field and the one this sector is measured from. It carries business-aviation handling, and departures are arranged against your date rather than assumed from a general rule. Leaving is the half of the day you control least, so give us the hour you need to be airborne and we will work the ground arrangements back from it. |
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | Arrival | The principal field on Cyprus, with business-aviation handling at any hour. Nothing here is rationed in the way island fields in the Aegean are, so a late landing raises no difficulty and there is no arrival window to be negotiated on your behalf. |
| Amman Marka | ADJ / OJAM | Alternative departure | The city field, closer in, and used by smaller aircraft subject to type and handling. It comes up when the party is small and the bags are few; it is not an answer for a super-midsize cabin. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | Alternative arrival | The western Cypriot field, closer to Limassol and the west coast, and quieter on the ground. Larnaca and Paphos are three quarters of an hour apart by road and are not interchangeable for everyone, so the address at the far end decides which one we quote. |
| Aqaba | AQJ / OJAQ | The other Jordanian start | For parties finishing on the Red Sea coast or at Petra rather than in the capital. It is a separate sector with its own arrangements, not a variation on this one, so tell us the whole itinerary instead of the last leg of it. |
Handling and slot conditions at both ends change from one season to the next. We confirm them against your actual dates rather than quoting a general rule at you.
Under an hour with a full cabin and real luggage puts this in the super-midsize class. Going below it trades cabin for a saving that the other half of the trip tends to take back, which is why we quote the class first and let you argue us down rather than the reverse.
The usual answer on our eastern Mediterranean sectors: a super-midsize cabin with stand-up height and the reach to do this nonstop with the hold full. Our opening proposal on most quotations for this pairing.
Challenger 350 →Comparable reach in a notably quiet cabin, and frequently the aircraft that is actually free when the Challenger is not. Worth naming in your enquiry so we can check both at once.
Legacy 500 →Fast and long-legged for its class. The one to ask about when the schedule is tight at both ends of the day and the minutes saved on the ground matter more than the cabin.
Gulfstream G280 →From €5 800 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
No published price for this city pair has reached us from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is not a quotation and not somebody else's number. It is our own floor, and it is built out of two things that have nothing to do with which way the aeroplane is pointing: the two-hour minimum that applies to a sector this short, and the published entry rate for the cabin class. The working is in the table, so check it rather than take it on trust.
| Reference | Applies to | Published figure | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole aircraft, this route | Amman to Larnaca | from €5 800 | Our own floor, not a quotation: 2.00 h charged (two-hour minimum applies) × 2 900 EUR/h, the published "from" rate for the cabin class (Eurosky, 19.02.2026), rounded down |
| Hourly rate, midsize jets | Europe | 4,600 – 9,700 EUR per hour | Broker published range, undated, retrieved 23.08.2026 |
| Hourly rate, from | Europe | from 2,900 – 3,500 EUR per hour | Broker published range, 19.02.2026 |
| Hourly rate, quoted in dollars | Light to midsize | 3,750 – 4,600 USD per hour | Broker published range, August 2026 |
| Empty leg | varies with the day | brokers publish discounts of 50 – 75% | Broker price pages, retrieved 2026 |
Ask any quotation you hold, ours included, one question before you ask about the hourly rate: where does the aeroplane start, and what does it do afterwards? On a sector of fifty-six minutes the positioning is a larger share of the bill than the flying. Northbound that question tends to fall your way, because Larnaca is an end point for a good deal of our own traffic rather than a stop in the middle of somebody's week.
The second question is the shape of the trip. If the aircraft waits for you at Larnaca it is one price; if it leaves and comes back it is another; and if you are flying up and back inside a couple of days, the two shapes can differ by a good deal more than a rounding item. Send both dates in the first message and we will cost them side by side instead of quoting the outbound and surprising you with the return.
Every figure above except our own floor is a third-party published rate, reproduced so you have something to test a quotation against. They are not our prices and they are not offers. The one price we stand behind is the written one against your dates.
Two calendars pull against each other on Cyprus-bound work: the European summer, when everything in the region is busy, and the Cypriot winter, when the island keeps flying while much of Europe slows down. Read the table as a booking calendar rather than as a weather forecast.
| Period | What happens | What to do about it |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak in both directions. Handling and parking, rather than aeroplanes, are what run short | Book early, and ask about the ground arrangements at Amman as well as about the aircraft |
| October to April | Cyprus carries on while much of Europe quietens. Availability into Larnaca is good | The best months for genuine short notice, and the right time to ask what is already repositioning towards Cyprus |
| Easter and Christmas | Short sharp peaks on either side of the holiday itself | Fix the dates early. The days immediately around the holiday go first and do not come back |
| May and late September | Shoulder. Everything open, nothing full, softer pricing | The value weeks on this pairing, and the ones to move your dates towards if they will move at all |
If your dates have a day of give in them, say so at the enquiry rather than after the quotation. On a short sector a single movable day is worth more than any amount of negotiation over a fixed one.
For a good many parties Cyprus is the junction rather than the destination. Anything that follows is cheaper and simpler arranged alongside this leg, because the aircraft's week then gets planned once instead of twice.
The sector we are asked to quote alongside this one more often than any other, and a route we publish separately. Put the two together and the positioning is solved once.
Larnaca to London →West into Greece, and for most parties the doorway to the islands. Published, short, and quoted as part of the same itinerary rather than as a fresh enquiry.
Larnaca to Athens →On east when Cyprus is a stop rather than a stay. A longer cabin conversation than this leg needs, so raise it early and we will size the aircraft for the whole trip.
Larnaca to Dubai →Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
