Dallas, USA. Photo: MediaLins / Shutterstock Jordan's national airline, Royal Jordanian, launched a new direct route between Amman and Dallas, Texas.
This is the first-ever route between Jordan and Dallas, joining Washington, Chicago, New York and Detroit as the airline's fifth destination in the United States. The new route will be operated by Dreamliner aircraft and will include four weekly flights between Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and Dallas Fort Worth Airport.
The company noted that the opening of the line is intended to strengthen connectivity between the Middle East and North America, and to meet the growing demand for flights between Jordan and the United States, including from the large Arab community living in Texas.
The new route also comes as preparations are underway for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, with the company estimating that demand for flights to the country will increase during the tournament. At the same time, the route is expected to strengthen Amman's position as a transit point for passengers from the Middle East on their way to the United States.
The launch ceremony was attended by Royal Jordanian Vice Chairman and CEO, Samer Majali, US Ambassador to Jordan, Jim Holtsnider, and other senior officials. The new route is part of the company's expansion plan, which includes expanding its destination network and increasing its fleet of aircraft in the coming years.
Nicolas Deviller, CEO of Airport International Group: "The launch of the new Dallas–Fort Worth route from Queen Alia International Airport by our national carrier, Royal Jordanian, represents an important milestone in further enhancing Jordan’s global connectivity. This new destination highlights the importance of continued collaboration between Airport International Group, the operator of QAIA, and Royal Jordanian to further strengthen the development of Jordan’s connectivity, particularly during challenging times”.
