Royal Jordanian Airlines, the flag carrier of the Middle Eastern nation of Jordan, can be launching a second frequency to London from its hub at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM). This latest service will operate from Amman to London’s Stansted Airport (STN) and use the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320neo family aircraft.
The carrier currently serves the British capital every day with a service on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which operates from AMM to London Heathrow (LHR). In this text, we are going to take a look at Royal Jordanian’s latest network expansion.
The addition itself
Royal Jordanian’s latest A320 flights to Stansted is not going to operate every day like its Heathrow flights, using a thrice-weekly schedule on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays of most weeks. The brand new route is about to launch on March 3, 2024, after which period the airline will operate between 13 and 17 monthly frequencies, depending on the schedule. The carrier will offer between 2,000 and a couple of,200 seats on this route monthly and as much as 4,500,000 available seat miles (ASMs).

The leg from Amman will leave at 10:15 and arrive at Stansted at 12:15, operating as Royal Jordanian Flight 113. In the other way, Royal Jordanian Flight 114 will depart from London at 14:00 and arrive within the evening at 21:55.
The Heathrow service
Service to Stansted will complement Royal Jordanian’s flights to Heathrow, that are already consistent and extensive operations. Heathrow’s every day Dreamliner service allows the carrier to supply massive numbers of seats on this route and does so by also catering to high-end premium and business travelers.

On daily basis at 12:05, Royal Jordanian Flight 111 departs from Amman sure for Heathrow and touches down after nearly six hours within the air at 14:45. Within the reverse direction, the carrier offers Royal Jordanian Flight 112, which departs from Heathrow at 16:05 and touches back down in Amman at 00:05 on the next day.

With a every day flight, Royal Jordanian can offer roughly 8,370 monthly seats on this route, making as much as 19,184,000 ASMs available. Combined with the carrier’s latest flights to Stansted, this offering will allow it to fly over 10,000 monthly seats and over 20,000,000 ASMs in each direction.
The larger picture
Royal Jordanian has continued to focus on expansion lately, with the carrier greatly expanding its fleet at this 12 months’s Dubai Airshow, ordering six latest 787 Dreamliners. Moreover, the airline’s CEO has also indicated that its fleet will expand by 60% by 2026, in keeping with a report earlier this 12 months from Easy Flying.

This route allows Royal Jordanian to supply more capability to London, and by serving an airport that primarily focuses on leisure travel, will support Jordan’s growing tourism industry (less so in recent months as a result of the conflict within the region).
