Flag-carrier Royal Jordanian Airlines has achieved a new milestone after ranking second in on-time performance across the Middle East and Africa for 2025, with a performance rate exceeding 90%, according to a report issued by global aviation analytics firm Cirium, published in early 2026.

This ranking places Royal Jordanian among the top five airlines worldwide in one of the aviation industry’s most critical and influential performance indicators: on-time arrival performance, said Royal Jordanian in a statement.

The achievement reflects the strength and discipline of Royal Jordanian’s operational system, as well as its ability to maintain a high level of operational performance despite ongoing operational challenges and complex regional conditions, it stated.

Lauding its employees for the achievement, Vice Chairman and CEO Samer Majali, said: "This progress is the result of integrated institutional efforts and the efficiency of our workforce, who continue to deliver services to passengers with the highest levels of professionalism."

He pointed out that maintaining this advanced performance level was a national responsibility, emphasizing Royal Jordanian’s continued commitment to investing in its people and enhancing operational performance in line with passengers’ expectations, while reinforcing Jordan’s position on the global aviation map.

The Cirium report is based on a comprehensive analysis of precise operational data collected over a 12-month period, covering hundreds of airlines worldwide, lending the ranking high credibility and reaffirming Royal Jordanian’s standing among the world’s leading international airlines.-TradeArabia News Service
