new destinations to the airline's network will make it more vibrant and
sustainable, supporting the company's rapid expansion strategy to lift the
company out of years of recession caused by regional conditions and the
coronavirus crisis.
Majali added that
RJ aims to build one of the largest networks in the region and to remain the leading airline in the Levant region.
Furthermore, the airline plans to increase its fleet size from
24 aircraft to more than 40 aircraft over the next three to five years to keep
up with growth and development, supporting national efforts to promote Jordan
as a tourist destination and connecting Amman to these major stations by
providing many travel options for passengers and building a robust regional
airline network through the capital Amman.
