Royal Jordanian Airlines is set to enhance its international connectivity with a new nonstop service linking Amman, Jordan, and Washington D.C. The new North American route is scheduled to launch in mid-March 2025.
This strategic route expansion represents a significant milestone for the national carrier. It promises increased travel opportunities and stronger bilateral ties between Jordan and the United States.
Route Details and Strategic Significance
Starting mid-March, Royal Jordanian will operate twice-weekly flights between Queen Alia International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport.
The airline will operate the service using its airline’s widebody Boeing 787 Dreamliner, ensuring passengers experience modern comfort and efficiency.
Network Expansion and Connectivity
This new route is part of Royal Jordanian’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence in North America. The airline has already established a strong footprint in the United States with direct flights to several major cities.
These currently include Chicago O’Hare International Airport, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The addition of the Washington, D.C. route further solidifies the carrier’s commitment to connecting the Middle East with key North American destinations.
Targeted Travel Segments
The new route is designed to serve a diverse range of travel needs. Government and diplomatic travelers will appreciate the direct connection between two capital cities. Similarly, business professionals can leverage the enhanced connectivity for international exchanges.
Tourism enthusiasts will benefit from easier access to explore both countries, and ethnic communities will find improved opportunities to maintain connections with their homeland and adopted country.
Airline CEO Perspective
Samer Majali, President and CEO of Royal Jordanian, spoke of the route’s importance. “This new nonstop service represents more than just a flight path—it’s a bridge connecting cultures, facilitating business interactions, and promoting tourism between Jordan and the United States.”
Founded in 1963, Royal Jordanian is the flag carrier of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. As a distinguished member of the oneworld airline alliance, the carrier has continuously expanded its global network, connecting the Middle East with destinations worldwide.
The airline has built a stellar reputation for exceptional service, maintains a modern and efficient fleet, and remains committed to connecting cultures across continents.
Looking Ahead
By establishing this direct route, Royal Jordanian is doing much more than simply adding another flight to its network.
The route will create significant economic opportunities and facilitate increased cultural exchange. It will improve accessibility between the Middle East and North America. It represents a strategic investment in bilateral relations and cross-cultural understanding.
The Washington, D.C. route symbolizes Royal Jordanian’s ambition to be a premier international carrier. It remains focused on offering world-class services and fostering meaningful connections across continents.
Travelers can look forward to experiencing the airline’s renowned hospitality and convenience when this exciting new route launches in March 2025.
