Royal Jordanian was established on 15/12/1963 by a Royal Decree as the national carrier of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. His Majesty the late King Hussein stated in his decree: “I want our national carrier to be the ambassador of goodwill around the world and a bridge across which we can exchange culture, civilization, trade, technology, friendship and better understanding with the rest of the world.”
Since its establishment, Royal Jordanian managed to grow from a regional pioneer operating a three-aircraft fleet directed towards three destinations, to a leading global airline with a fleet of more than 20 modern aircraft, and a diverse network of more than 40 destinations spread across four continents. Royal Jordanian became a reputed member in the oneworld airline alliance; being the preferred and trusted carrier among the majority of Jordanians, customers in the Levant and Middle East region.
On an international level, Royal Jordanian managed to establish a strong foothold in the aviation market through our credible reputation and renowned services.
Strategically located in Amman, Royal Jordanian's central hub provides the ideal location through which Europe, Asia, Africa, and anywhere in the Middle East can be easily reached. Our Amman City Terminal at 7th Circle provides a central locale for sales and early boarding services. We are proud to fly in and out of our main airport, Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA), conveniently situated just outside the city.
