This new non-stop service four times weekly will be an addition to the existing daily bus routes offered by Royal Jordanian in the last 2 years between Amman Airport and Syria. By April 2025, the airline plans to increase the frequency to daily flights. The short flight time of 25 minutes between Amman and Damascus will be the shortest route from Damascus by air allowing fast and seamless connectivity throughout the RJ international route network of over 45 destinations. Flight tickets for the new route can be purchased as of today through www.rj.com or any travel agent.
Mr. Samer Majali, CEO of Royal Jordanian Airlines, stated: "Resuming our new flights to Damascus emphasize our commitment to be one the first airlines to offer international connectivity to the Syrian market. Amman has long served as the gateway to Syria, enabling travelers from the U.S. and Europe to connect to the region. We are pleased to announce the resumption with four weekly flights, expanding to daily service in April, and look forward to reconnecting Syria to the world. "
This development aligns with Royal Jordanian’s strategic plan to establish Amman as the leading gateway to the Levant. In line with Royal Jordanian’s ambitious expansion plan set to grow from 25aircraft in 2024 to 41 aircraft by 2027, the airline is adding 20 brand new aircraft within the next 2 years, focusing on the A320Neo and Embraer E2 Jets on the narrowbody fleet while adding the B787-9 for their widebody operation. The new A320 Neo aircraft entering in March 2025 will be equipped with brand new economy and business class leather seats, new inflight entertainment screens on every seat and WIFI connectivity.
