Royal Jordanian begins flights to Ankara today

AMMAN — Royal Jordanian (RJ) inaugurates its new direct regular route from Amman to the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Tuesday, according to an RJ press statement. "RJ is expanding its network in Turkey by adding the Ankara route to that of Istanbul," RJ President/Chief Executive Officer Suleiman Obeidat said in the Monday press release.

"This route is bound to cater for the demand of business traffic between the capital of Turkey and both Jordan and beyond. It will also serve Hajj and Umrah pilgrims." Ankara and its vicinity are important regional centres for trade and commerce, he said.

The chief executive officer added that the new addition to the route network brings the number of RJ destinations to 55, pointing out that new destinations will be added to the RJ route network within the coming few weeks.

Also, RJ passengers flying from/to Amman can continue their travel to more than 1,000 destinations served by RJ’s partners in the oneworld airline alliance. Royal Jordanian will operate to Ankara three times a week, on Thursdays, Sundays and Tuesdays bringing the number of flights between Jordan and Turkey to between 12 and 17 weekly, depending on the seasonal demand.
