Royal Jordanian Airlines has added a new Airbus A320neo, increasing its total to 12, alongside seven new Embraer E2 aircraft.
The airline’s fleet, primarily composed of
aircraft less than a year old, is set to have around 70% renewed by year-end,
aided by the arrival of two Airbus A321s.
This modernisation reflects the airline's
commitment to high-quality service and advancements in global aviation.
Notably, two Airbus A320neo aircraft
feature 180 all-economy seats with a new “Premium Economy” service aimed at
attracting tourists.
The
airline has also enhanced its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner fleet, which includes a
comprehensive upgrade program for in-flight Wi-Fi and cabin refurbishments,
with the first refurbished aircraft expected to return by October 2025.
Additionally, Royal Jordanian will
introduce its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in early 2026 as part of its
long-haul fleet enhancement.
The
airline is also focusing on cargo operations to solidify Jordan's role as a
regional logistics hub, operating a new A321PF freighter and utilising the
cargo capacity of passenger aircraft.
Samer Majali, Vice Chairman and CEO of
Royal Jordanian, stated: “The introduction of these new aircraft supports our
strategic goal of promoting tourism and serving key destinations, in line with
Royal Jordanian’s ongoing efforts to position Jordan as a preferred tourist
destination. We continue to strengthen Amman’s role as a leading regional
transit hub and to enhance Royal Jordanian’s standing as the preferred choice
for passengers connecting the Levant region with major cities in the Middle
East and Europe.”
Majali added that the airline’s fleet is expected to grow to around 40 aircraft over the coming years, in tandem with the expansion of Royal Jordanian’s route network, which currently serves 55 direct destinations worldwide. -TradeArabia News Service
