Ryanair launches record winter schedule and major investment plan for Jordan

Ryanair has unveiled its largest-ever winter schedule for Amman, offering over 300,000 seats across 18 routes to 12 EU countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The airline will operate 84 weekly flights, marking a full return to pre-pandemic operations in Jordan.

The expansion highlights Ryanair’s strong partnership with the Jordanian Government and its commitment to supporting tourism and economic growth by offering Europe’s lowest fares.

In addition, Ryanair announced a major investment proposal for Jordan aimed at:

• Increasing annual traffic by 360% to 3 million seats;
• Expanding to 50 direct routes from Europe;
• Launching new services from Marka Airport (Amman);
• Maintaining year-round flights to Aqaba.

Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said the airline’s rapid return underscores its confidence in Jordan’s pro-business and pro-tourism policies:

“This record winter schedule and our new investment plan will help make Jordan the premier touristic destination in the Middle East, driving job creation, tourism, and economic growth.”

Jordanian Minister of Tourism Dr Emad Hijazeen hailed the announcement as a major milestone for Jordan’s aviation and tourism sectors, reinforcing the country’s role as a key regional hub.

Jordan Tourism Board Managing Director, Dr Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat, emphasised that the partnership with Ryanair, launched in 2018, has brought over one million visitors to Jordan and transformed its visibility across European markets.

With this record expansion and future investment plan, Ryanair aims to strengthen Jordan’s connectivity, accessibility, and appeal as a year-round destination for European travellers.
