A modernized fleet

The modernization of its fleet has enabled the company to improve its operating efficiency, meeting the comfort requirements of modern passengers.
A look back at the reasons for this decade of absence
The cessation of flights between Jordan and India was first announced in 2014due to instability in the region and high fuel costs. Growing regional competition and high operating costs had also contributed to this decision. Today, however, the stakes are different, with a clear strategy of recovery and growth in the Indian market.
New American destination: Washington DC
In parallel with this expansion into their Asian market, Royal Jordanian is also opening up new opportunities across the Atlantic with a new route to Washington DCannounced for March 23. This twice-weekly route will complement the existing North American network, which already includes flights to Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto.
