Publishes assistance information but no mobility-aid carriage detail.

Fragments only. Jordan Aviation publishes some assistance information but not a full mobility-aid policy. What is below is everything it actually states. Everything marked “not published” genuinely is — confirm it with the airline rather than assuming the international baseline applies.

Who to contact

Transcribed from the airline’s own pages, exactly as it labels them.

Jordan Aviation publishes no accessibility or special-assistance page at all, in English or Arabic, and therefore no disability desk, no assistance e-mail and no assistance-request form. The head office numbers, info@jordanaviation.jo and the general contact form are the only routes. Fax +962 6 552 5462; head office Um Uthaina, King Faisal Bin Abdulaziz Street, Amman.

Powered wheelchairs & batteries

The part that goes wrong. Battery chemistry and watt-hours decide whether your chair flies, and the rules differ depending on whether the battery can be removed.

Powered chairs accepted
Not published

Not published. Jordan Aviation never mentions powered or battery-driven wheelchairs; the only related lines are "Mobility Aid — As per JAV policy" and "Lithium batteries — Yes, but as per JAV policy", neither of which is published.

Lithium-ion batteries
Not published

Not published for wheelchairs. The personal-items table says only "Lithium batteries — Yes, but as per JAV policy", and that policy does not appear on the site.

Wet / spillable batteries
Not published

Not published for mobility aids. The restricted-items list bans "Acids and alkalis (e.g., wet batteries with leaking risk)" and "Vehicles batteries and fuel systems" from both cabin and hold, but those entries are about loose chemicals and are not stated to cover wheelchair batteries.

Terminal protection & immobilisation

Not published — no terminal-insulation, disconnection or immobilisation requirement is given for mobility-aid batteries.

Size limit for a powered chair
Not published

Not published — no size limit for powered wheelchairs is given.

Weight limit for a powered chair
Not published

Not published — no weight limit for powered wheelchairs is given.

Returned at the aircraft door
Not published

Not published — no gate-return arrangement is described.

Everything specific to powered chairs is deferred to an unpublished "JAV policy": mobility aids, lithium batteries and dangerous goods in passenger baggage all requiring prior JAV approval under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

Manual wheelchairs

Manual chairs accepted
Yes

The Queen Alia Airport restricted-items table lists "Wheelchairs — allowed in hand luggage: Yes (If cabin space permits); allowed in hold luggage: Yes", and "Crutches and walking aid: Yes". The Arabic page carries the same rows (الكرسي المتحرك: نعم / في حال وجود مساحة كافية).

Folding chair may travel in the cabin
Yes

The same table allows a wheelchair in hand luggage "If cabin space permits" — i.e. subject to space rather than guaranteed. No dimensions, folding requirement or stowage location are given.

In-cabin stowage limit
Not published

Not published — the cabin wheelchair allowance is qualified only by "if cabin space permits", with no size limit. The general carry-on limit of 23x41x51 cm / 7 kg is stated for ordinary hand baggage, not for mobility aids.

Size limit for a checked manual chair
Not published

Not published — no maximum wheelchair size, hold-door aperture or hold-compartment figure is given for any of the 12 aircraft in the fleet.

Weight limit for a manual chair
Not published

Not published for mobility aids. The baggage page caps any single checked piece at 32 kg but adds "Specific rules may apply for AVIH, WCH, musical instruments and large sports equipment" without saying what those rules are — so the 32 kg figure cannot be read as a wheelchair limit.

Returned at the aircraft door
Not published

Not published. Jordan Aviation does not say whether a checked mobility aid is returned at the aircraft door or on the baggage belt.

The baggage page's personal-items section lists "Mobility Aid — As per JAV policy", i.e. it defers to an internal policy that is not published anywhere on the site.

Booking & cost

Advance notice requiredhours before scheduled departure
Not published

Not published. Jordan Aviation states no advance-notice deadline for mobility assistance. Its baggage page only notes generically that some special items "may require prior arrangement, notification and/or specialized screening requirements" and that dangerous goods in passenger baggage need prior JAV approval.

How to request assistance
Not published

Not published. There is no assistance-request route on the site — no special-assistance page, no SSR selection described, no form. A passenger has to use the general head-office phone, info@jordanaviation.jo or the contact form.

Charge for carrying the aid
Not published

Not published. Jordan Aviation nowhere says whether a passenger's own mobility aid is carried free or counts against the baggage allowance; the baggage page lists "Mobility Aid — As per JAV policy" without publishing that policy.

Mobility devices carried free
Not published

Not published — no number of mobility devices per passenger is stated.

If they damage your chair
No mobility-aid-specific rule; under the general baggage terms compensation is repair or replacement on proof of cost, and damage to wheels, feet or extending handles is excluded as wear and tear

Baggage policy: "JAV unable to accept liability for damage to baggage due to wear and tear, which includes ... Damage to wheels, feet or extending handles." For major damage a report is filed and "compensation may either be repair or replacement ... If they are unable to [provide proof of costs], Jordan Aviation will not be liable."

Not published. No accessible seating, movable-armrest or bulkhead policy is described.

Worth knowing

Jordan Aviation's site is fully reachable but publishes no accessibility or special-assistance content at all: the English and Arabic navigations are identical (About us / Destinations / Special Offers / Terms & conditions / Manage booking / Safety / Contact us / News) with no disability page, no conditions of carriage and no dangerous-goods page. Everything a wheelchair user needs is deferred to an unpublished internal policy — "Mobility Aid: As per JAV policy", "Lithium batteries: Yes, but as per JAV policy", and "Specific rules may apply for AVIH, WCH..." — so no battery, size or weight figure could be recorded and none has been guessed. The only concrete published facts are that a wheelchair may be taken into the cabin if space permits and is otherwise carried in the hold, and the baggage-damage terms, which exclude damage to wheels and extending handles as wear and tear and pay only against proof of cost — a serious point for anyone checking a £8,000 chair. Two operational notes: the airline runs both scheduled ("Fare A: Regular Flights") and charter ("Fare B: Charter Flights") services plus aircraft leasing, so on a wet-leased flight the contracting airline's conditions may govern; and jordanaviation.jo/sitemap.xml is stuffed with injected SEO-spam URLs, which suggests the site is not closely maintained. A human should telephone +962 6 550 1760 before relying on anything here for a powered chair.
