Royal Jordanian Airlines is to open a new transatlantic service to Washington DC ahead of the summer season next year.
The Oneworld alliance carrier states that it will fly the nonstop route from Amman twice-weekly.
Royal Jordanian will deploy Boeing 787s for the service.
It will bring to four the number of US gateways served by the flag-carrier.
Royal Jordanian already operates to New York JFK, Chicago O’Hare and Detroit.
“This route not only enhances our network connectivity but also underscores our dedication to fostering stronger ties between Jordan and the USA,” says chief executive Samer Majali.
He adds that the carrier aims to be the “airline of choice” for the Levant region, and the Washington route is “another step” towards achieving this ambition.
Royal Jordanian will commence the service in March 2025.
