Royal Jordanian (RJ) is expanding its network by adding Stockholm, Düsseldorf, Manama/Bahrain, and Al-Ula/Saudi Arabia to its route network.
The airline also plans to resume regular, nonstop services to Algiers starting March 16th. Seasonal routes to Sharm El Sheikh, Antalya, and Trabzon are scheduled to start in April this year.
As part of the airline's post-covid growth plans and in view of the increasing demand, the company will increase the flight frequencies to various routes.
The service between Amman and Stockholm, starting as of May 29th, will see two weekly flights between the two cities, enhancing RJ’s presence in Sweden and the Scandinavian countries. Also, effective the 23rd of September, the company will commence operating to Düsseldorf with two weekly flights. The new route is meant to serve a vital German market, given that Düsseldorf is an international business and financial centre. These destinations will help RJ accomplish its Levant strategy and bring tourists to Jordan from European destinations. Flights to Manama, Bahrain, will figure on the route map again in the mid of June after being suspended in 2004.
Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali said: “Today we are thrilled to announce that we start operating to new destinations that are bound to add value to our air transportation services. The company’s route expansion comes in line with the strategic plan to modernise our narrow-body fleet of aircraft that would serve core destinations in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The fleet renewal plan also includes growing the current fleet of wide-body aircraft, followed by the scheduled replacement of the existing fleet in the near future.
“We plan to increase the total fleet size from today’s 24 to over 40 aircraft in the coming 3-5 years. This, in turn, supports RJ’s vision to build one of the largest networks in the Levant.”
