The MoU aims to strengthen the partnership between the two national carriers, develop air connectivity between Jordan and China, and expand commercial and operational cooperation.
It is also intended to enhance their competitiveness in global markets and pave the way for further future cooperation, including the launch of new air routes.
Under the MoU, Royal Jordanian and Air China will explore opportunities for codeshare cooperation on a number of key routes and leverage their respective operational hubs in Amman and Beijing to provide passengers with wider travel options and more efficient and seamless connections.
The two airlines will also cooperate in several commercial areas, including interline agreements, product and service training, and joint brand promotion.
They will also strengthen operational support, including ground handling, air cargo and in-flight catering services at their respective hubs in Amman and Beijing, helping provide air services in accordance with the highest standards.
Royal Jordanian Vice Chairman and CEO Samer Al-Majali said that signing the MoU represents an important milestone in the airline’s strategy to strengthen its presence in China and the Far East, emphasizing the importance of Air China as a strategic partner for Royal Jordanian.
“Beijing represents a key gateway to China and the broader Asian markets, while Amman serves as a central hub for the Levant region. By strengthening our commercial cooperation and exploring future codeshare opportunities, we aim to expand the reach of Royal Jordanian’s network, provide passengers with smoother connectivity options, and support the success of the planned direct air route between the two capitals,” Al-Majali said.
Zhu Guangjie, Chairman of China National Aviation Holding Corporation and Chairman of Air China, said Royal Jordanian and Air China have established strong cooperative relations and significant potential to further develop their partnership. He noted that the two national carriers are working to build a strong air link between Jordan and China.
He confirmed that Air China will provide its full support to Royal Jordanian in launching nonstop direct flights between Amman and Beijing.
Guangjie expressed the company’s interest in continuing to strengthen its partnership with Royal Jordanian, contributing to increased tourism, business activity and cultural exchange between Jordan and China, while taking advantage of opportunities for joint development.
The signing of the MoU represents an important step toward strengthening cooperation in the aviation sector between Jordan and China and provides fresh momentum for the development of the air transport market in both countries.
Building on this agreement, Royal Jordanian and Air China will continue expanding their areas of cooperation and developing their partnership, contributing to the creation of a more accessible and efficient “air bridge” that supports travel and people-to-people connectivity while strengthening economic and trade relations, as well as cultural and tourism exchanges between Jordan and China.
