Royal Jordanian (RJ), the national carrier, plans to increase the frequency of its flights to 14 of the key Arab and international destinations on the airline's network this summer.

The 2017 summer operating plan will add an additional weekly flight to the already scheduled services to Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt (Germany), Barcelona and Madrid (Spain), Moscow (Russia), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) Tunis and Algiers, and two additional weekly flights to New York, Kuwait and Dammam, said a statement from RJ.

Furthermore, RJ will add three additional weekly flights to Madinah, bringing the total number of weekly flights into the city to 16.

RJ has also rescheduled arrival and departure times providing passengers, particularly transit travelers, with the convenience of selecting from a broader array of flight options, it stated.

The network enhancement comes as part of RJ’s keenness to strengthen its presence and boost its connectivity in those cities, all while incorporating network consolidation throughout the high-demand summer season.

With this move, the RJ’s network connectivity will ultimately increase by an additional eight per cent, said the RJ statement.

Moreover, RJ will be operating a total of 15 weekly flights to Baghdad by adding six additional weekly trips to the existing schedule, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
