Royal Jordanian outlines plans for network growth this year

AMMAN — Royal Jordanian (RJ) announced that it has an ambitious network growth plan for this year, which will see the launch of new, promising markets, including Stockholm, Düsseldorf, Manama and Al Ula in Saudi Arabia.

The airline also plans to resume regular, nonstop services to Algiers starting March 16. Seasonal routes to Sharm El Sheikh, Antalya and Trabzon are scheduled to start in April this year, according to a statement from the national carrier.

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 29, will see two weekly flights between the two cities, enhancing RJ’s presence in Sweden and the Scandinavian countries. Also, effective of September 23, 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 mid-June after being suspended in 2004, the statement said.
