FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Royal Jordanian captain salary in 2026?

Royal Jordanian captain pay is estimated at about $148K per year, take-home (net) as stated in the source. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.

What is the Royal Jordanian first officer salary?

Royal Jordanian first officer pay is estimated at about $102K per year, take-home (net) as stated in the source — a single contract rate, not a seniority step.

What are the requirements to become a Royal Jordanian pilot?

Captain / First Officer (Foreign Pilot Recruitment) — International operations. Amman-based. Key requirements: License Required: ATPL (ICAO-compliant); English: ICAO Level 4 or above; Type Rating: B787 / A320 family preferred. We have not been able to confirm flight-hour requirements the airline publishes; the airline’s careers page is linked under Jobs above. Amman has a comparatively low cost of living by Middle Eastern standards, and the living environment is good.

What is the Royal Jordanian pilot salary per month?

Captain, A320 (Amman, 12-month Brookfield contract, net): monthly pay $12K; First officer, A320 (Amman, 12-month Brookfield contract, net): monthly pay $8.5K. These are the monthly figures the airline publishes, not an annual figure divided by twelve. Twelve times the monthly figure does not equal the published annual figure, and we leave both as published. A total package that includes housing and school fees divided by twelve is not a monthly salary.

What is the Royal Jordanian pilot pay scale?

For captains we publish a job posting rather than an average — Captain, A320 (Amman, 12-month Brookfield contract, net): monthly pay × 12 months $148K. This is not an all-staff average. For first officers we publish a job posting rather than an average — First officer, A320 (Amman, 12-month Brookfield contract, net): monthly pay × 12 months $102K. This is not an all-staff average. These are the amounts stated in postings by a recruitment agency in the UK. Source checked 2026-10-30; yen figures are converted for comparison at the rate held as of 2026-08-22, not a live rate.

Is the Royal Jordanian pilot salary before or after tax?

The Royal Jordanian figures on this page are take-home (net) amounts as stated in the source; the pre-tax amount is not given. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies, and we do not publish one. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
