Royal Jordanian Airlines Returns to India After a Decade! Direct Flights from Amman to Mumbai Start Again
Jordan's Royal Airline initiates air services between Amman and Mumbai.
Get ready to pack your bags and embark on a new journey as Royal Jordanian Airlines reclaims its place in India's skies. The airline is back after a decade-long absence with direct flights to Mumbai!
Starting June 2025, the skies will welcome Royal Jordanian Airlines' Airbus A320neo, four times a week, straight from Amman. They've got exciting plans up their sleeves, aiming to expand this service to daily flights by next year, and adding direct Delhi-Amman flights within the next 3-4 months.
Stronger connections between India and Jordan are what this strategic move is all about. With this expansion, passengers can enjoy seamless travel to over 50 destinations spanning West Asia, Gulf, and North Africa.
So why is Royal Jordanian Airlines so keen on Indian skies? According to Karim Makhlouf, their Chief Commercial Officer, they want to entice travelers from India to explore the Levant region. This region, which encompasses Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, and southern Egypt, lacks a strong national carrier. Royal Jordanian aims to fill that gap.
Their Mumbai-bound flights offer top-notch amenities, including 12 business class seats, 140 economy class seats, in-flight entertainment, leather seats, on-board wifi, and catering. For now, only Indian carriers offering non-stop flights to Amman are missing.
Royal Jordanian expects a surge in tourist numbers from India. They are already planning to collaborate with major travel planners like Thomas Cook, MakeMyTrip, and ClearTrip to encourage tourism to Jordan. The airline is hopeful that these efforts will double the number of Indian tourists visiting Jordan in the next two years.
