The Airlines’ UAE-Jordan network now offers nearly 40 direct flights a week
Royal Jordanian Airlines has launched a new direct service between Abu Dhabi and Aqaba, the carrier announced at a special event in Dubai, as it moves to strengthen air connectivity between the United Arab Emirates and Jordan and provide travelers with direct access to the Red Sea city and some of the kingdom’s key tourist destinations.
The airline said its UAE-Jordan network now offers nearly 40 direct flights a week, including 21 weekly services between Dubai and Amman, seven between Sharjah and Amman, nine between Abu Dhabi and Amman, and two weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Aqaba.
The new route provides travelers from Abu Dhabi with direct access to Aqaba, a major tourism destination in southern Jordan and a gateway to the country’s Golden Triangle of Aqaba, Petra and Wadi Rum.
Expanded connectivity
Karim Makhlouf, Chief Commercial Officer, Royal Jordanian Airlines, said the expanded connectivity between the UAE and Jordan gives travelers greater flexibility to explore the kingdom, either through Amman or by flying directly to Aqaba and the Red Sea.
Royal Jordanian said the new service forms part of its efforts to expand its regional network and strengthen connectivity with key markets, while supporting Jordan’s position as a regional and international tourism destination.
The airline is also continuing to expand its network, modernize its fleet and enhance the passenger experience as part of its broader strategy to strengthen its position as the carrier of choice for travelers to and from Jordan.
