Adding Brussels to our ever–expanding network will allow tourists from Belgium to visit Jordan easily and directly. Facilitating tourism to the Kingdom is a core focus of RJ’s new strategy—as is our commitment to further developing Amman as the main gateway to the Levant, by offering improved connectivity to our broader network. This new route is yet another step in line with our five–year growth plan, through which we also plan to significantly increase our fleet, from 24 aircraft to more than 40 in the next three to five years.”
“We are very happy to welcome Royal Jordanian Airlines back to Brussels Airport after a 10–year absence and, in particular, to offer our passengers the opportunity to discover the city of Amman”, says Arnaud Feist, Brussels Airport CEO. “As a modern country with a rich history, Jordan is a true gem and a great destination for a city break or an extended stay.
The fact that Royal Jordanian Airlines continues to modernise its fleet with energy–efficient aircraft fits perfectly within Brussels Airport’s sustainable development strategy.”
