What you're owed

£520each if you land 3 hours or more late

Every route the CAA tracks between the UK and Jordan falls in the same distance band (Over 3,500 km), so a delay of 3 hours or more pays a flat £520 each if the flight left the UK (€600 under EU261 if it left Jordan instead and the airline was a UK or EU carrier). Find your route below.

Route 3 hours or more pays
Heathrow → Amman £520each
Stansted → Amman £520each
Manchester → Amman £520each
Luton → Amman £520each

All 4 tracked UK ↔ Jordan routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €600 for the same band.

The figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.

How bad is it

Do flights between the UK and Jordan get delayed a lot?

No, less than most. They're better than most of the 71 countries the UK flies to most, with 0.3% of flights landing 3 or more hours late.

That works out at about 6 flights a year crossing the 3-hour line, which is the point the airline has to pay.

When is it worst?

July 2025, when flights between the UK and Jordan ran an average of 16.7 minutes late.

See all the numbers for Jordan

In the last 12 months, 2,002 flights operated between the UK and Jordan: 75.5% ran within 15 minutes of schedule, and 0.3% were 3 or more hours late, roughly 6 flights' worth of eligible passengers in a year. The CAA's figures don't separate arrivals from departures, so this covers the corridor both ways.

Flights are landing on time more often than last year: 75.5% ran on time against 74.6% in the twelve months before, and the average delay fell from 13.4 to 12.2 minutes.

Your rights

Your rights on this corridor

Every flight leaving the UK for Jordan is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Jordan, are covered too if a UK or EU airline operated them; a return flight on a non-UK, non-EU carrier falls outside it, though the Montreal Convention and Jordan's own rules may still give you a claim. See the full breakdown on the 3-hour rule. Cancelled instead of delayed? Broadly the same amounts apply under different conditions. See cancelled flight compensation.
