AMMAN — Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) announced that it will operate a test flight to Aleppo International Airport on Sunday as part of a comprehensive evaluation before deciding on the resumption of flights between Amman and Aleppo.

RJ CEO Samer Majali said that the test flight will be accompanied by a Jordanian technical team responsible for assessing the operational safety and security of flights to and from Aleppo International Airport, the Jordan News Agency, Petra reported. RJ resumed direct flights to Damascus last January, operating four weekly flights to the Syrian capital after years of suspension.

The route reconnected Damascus to RJ’s global network, which spans over 45 destinations across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and the Arabian Gulf. Earlier this year, on January 7, an RJ aircraft carried a delegation from the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) to Damascus to evaluate the airport’s technical and logistical readiness. The upcoming test flight to Aleppo follows the same approach, ensuring that any potential route expansion meets safety and operational standards.
