Ryanair has announced a record Winter schedule for Amman, offering over 300,000 seats across 18 destinations and connecting Jordan to 12 EU countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
The rapid restoration
of Ryanair’s full operations at Amman Airport reflects the pro-business
approach of the Jordanian Government and the airport’s pragmatic support,
reinforcing Jordan’s position as one of the Middle East’s most attractive and
accessible tourism destinations.
Ryanair reaffirmed its
commitment to driving inbound tourism and economic growth by offering Europe’s
lowest fares, allowing visitors to spend more in Jordan’s local hotels,
restaurants, and services, directly supporting job creation and local
businesses.
Ryanair also unveiled
an ambitious investment proposal for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which
envisions increasing annual traffic by 360% to reach 3 million seats, operating
50 direct connections from European cities to Jordan, launching new flights to
Marka (Amman) Airport, and maintaining year-round services to Aqaba.
Ryanair CEO, Eddie
Wilson, said, “Ryanair is thrilled to announce the return to full operations to
Jordan from Oct, underlined by a record Winter schedule for Amman. With 84
weekly flights across 18 routes to 12 European countries such as Austria,
Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain, Ryanair’s investment will ensure that
Jordan remains a key tourist destination this Winter – delivering enhanced
connectivity, increased tourism, and economic growth with Europe’s lowest
fares.
Ryanair’s rapid return
to Jordan is built on a long-standing partnership between Ryanair and the
Kingdom, whose pro-growth strategy will ensure Jordan remains the premier
tourist destination in the Middle East. We are also excited to unveil our
investment proposal which will increase Ryanair traffic to Jordan to 3m seats
p.a., deliver 50 direct connections across Amman, Marka and Aqaba airports,
driving job creation, tourism and economic growth.
We look forward to
working with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to deliver this exciting plan and
introducing millions of passengers from across Europe to Jordan’s rich culture
and unique history.”
Jordanian Minister of
Tourism and Antiquities, Dr. Emad Hijazeen, said: “Today’s announcement of 18
Ryanair routes to Amman for the Winter 25/26 Season marks a truly exceptional
milestone for Jordan’s aviation and tourism sectors.
This expansion not
only reinforces Jordan’s position as a key tourism and investment hub in the
region, but also plays a vital role in supporting our national economy and
creating new opportunities across the tourism value chain.
Our partnership with
Ryanair, which began in 2018, has evolved into a model of a successful
partnership built on trust, resilience, and shared vision.”
Jordan Tourism Board
Managing Director, Dr. Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat, said: “Since the start of our
partnership in 2018, Ryanair has been an essential strategic tool in promoting
Jordan as a competitive and accessible destination for European travellers.
Together, we have
achieved exceptional results, welcoming more than a million visitors since the
start of this strategic partnership from across Europe, diversifying source
markets, and helping Jordan achieve record-breaking tourism numbers in multiple
seasons.
Beyond routes and capacity, our joint marketing initiatives and campaigns since 2018 have played a truly transformative role in positioning Jordan globally — showcasing it as a must-visit destination for travellers of all profiles, from cultural explorers to adventure seekers and families alike. These initiatives are carefully localised, translated, and tailored for each market in its own language, ensuring maximum impact, relevance, and efficiency in reaching diverse audiences across Europe.” -TradeArabia News Service
