King Hussein Air College (OMF)

King Hussein Air College (OMF), also known as Mafraq Air Base, is a primary military installation located in Mafraq, Jordan. As the central flight training facility for the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF), it does not operate a standard civilian passenger terminal. Its infrastructure is optimized for military education and operational logistics, serving as a key base for the Staff School, the Flying School, and the Junior Command. The facility's technical layout is designed for intensive flight operations, featuring a substantial 9,819-foot asphalt runway and specialized maintenance hangars. While it is not an official international Airport of Entry for the general public, it maintains essential support services for authorized military and government flights, including jet fuel availability and secure aircraft parking. Prior Permission Required (PPR) is mandatory for all non-military operations at this field. Beyond its operational role, the college is a major educational center, offering academic programs such as a bachelor's degree in Aviation Sciences through the Firas Al-Ajlouni School. The base infrastructure also includes on-site housing for personnel and their families, a technical management school, and a ground defense battalion. Given its sensitive military status, photography and public access are strictly restricted throughout the installation.
