QAIA welcomes 1st flights of Royal Jordanian’s new capital-to-capital route between Amman and Stockholm

AMMAN — Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has welcomed Royal Jordanian’s (RJ) new direct route between Amman and Stockholm, connecting the Jordanian and Swedish capitals via two weekly flights every Monday and Thursday.

This step emphasises the collaborative efforts of Airport International Group (AIG), RJ and the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) to link Amman with other capitals and cities worldwide, according to an AIG statement.

The inaugural flight was greeted with the customary water arch salute in the presence of Swedish Ambassador to Jordan Alexandra Rydmark as well as representatives from AIG, RJ and JTB.

“We are excited that RJ has decided to launch this direct flight, making it easier to connect people between Jordan and Sweden. I hope that this connection between our capitals will open greater opportunities in many fields and further strengthen our already strong relations,” said Rydmark.

“As the year progresses, we remain dedicated to expanding our destination network, underlining the national strategy to boost inbound tourism through Amman and welcome people to discover Jordan’s many treasures, and what better way to do so than with a new direct route to the vibrant Swedish capital of Stockholm. We would like to thank our partners for supporting our efforts and sharing
