Royal Jordanian strengthens Jordan-US ties with a new direct flight route to Washington, D.C., offering enhanced connectivity for travelers.

Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) has launched a new direct service between Amman and Washington, D.C., enhancing connectivity between the Middle East and North America with two weekly flights. This new route, operating on Tuesdays and Sundays, will be serviced by the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a move aimed at strengthening ties between the two capitals for government, business, tourism, and expatriate travelers.

The launch ceremony was attended by several prominent figures, including Minister of Transport Wissam Tahtamouni, CEO of Airport International Group Nicolas Devillier, Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy Rohit Nepal, and Chairman of the Jordan Tourism Board Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat.

This new route complements Royal Jordanian’s existing direct flights to Chicago, New York, and Detroit, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing Jordan-U.S. relations while delivering an exceptional travel experience.

As part of its expansion strategy, RJ aims to increase its network to 60 destinations and grow its fleet to 42 aircraft in the near future. Recently, the airline added five new Embraer aircraft to its fleet, with plans to acquire three more, in addition to introducing new A320neo aircraft for medium-haul routes and Boeing 787-9s for long-haul flights.
