Ryanair will run 84 weekly flights from Jordan's capital Amman this winter after restarting operations paused by the war in Gaza and is in talks about a significant expansion, the airline today.
Ryanair is in talks with authorities in Jordan about increasing the number of routes it flies from the country from 18 to 50, the airline said in a statement.
The airline said it will increase traffic to Jordan by 360% to 3 million seats a year, while it will launch new flights to Marka (Amman) Airport and maintain year-round flights to Aqaba.
Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said that with 84 weekly flights across 18 routes to 12 European countries such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain, Ryanair's investment will ensure that Jordan remains a key tourist destination this Winter.
"Ryanair's rapid return to Jordan is built on a long-standing partnership between Ryanair and the Kingdom whose pro- growth strategy will ensure Jordan remains the premier touristic destination in the Middle East," he said.
"We are also excited to unveil our investment proposal which will increase Ryanair traffic to Jordan to 3 million seats per annum, deliver 50 direct connections across Amman, Marka and Aqaba airports, driving job creation, tourism and economic growth," he added.
