In addition to an Amman route,
ASEZA Chief Commissioner Nayef Bakheet said that
the company will operate flights to European, Arab, and Gulf countries under
the name Fly Aqaba.
Bakheet explained that the company will start its flights from the King Hussein
International Airport, hoping that this investment will spur foreign tourism to
Aqaba by linking it with global destinations at competitive prices.
He stressed that the Fly Aqaba Company will operate two planes initially to
facilitate the arrival of tourists to Jordan in general and the Golden Triangle
area in particular, in addition to operating tourist flights to and from Aqaba.
In turn, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fly Aqaba Nasser Al-Olayani said
that this "huge" investment project was the result of joint cooperation
between Saudi Arabia and Jordan, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
