How does your airline plan to expand its presence in India, both in terms of network and frequency of flights?
India is a crucial market for Royal Jordanian, and we are thrilled about our renewed focus on this dynamic region. As part of our expansion strategy, we are launching four weekly flights between Amman and Mumbai in June, followed by New Delhi in September.
What steps is your airline taking to reduce its carbon footprint, especially in the Indian sector? Are there any initiatives focused on sustainable aviation fuel or fleet modernization?
Sustainability is at the core of our long-term strategy. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through multiple initiatives. One of our biggest steps in this direction is fleet modernization. We are introducing fuel-efficient aircraft, such as the Embraer E2 and Airbus A320neo, which consume significantly less fuel and emit lower CO2 levels compared to older models.
Can you share insights on your airline’s new aircraft acquisitions and how they align with your growth plans in India?
Over the next 18 months, we are adding nearly 20 new aircraft, including Embraer E2 jets, Airbus A320neos, and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. Each of these aircraft plays a strategic role in our network development.
For India, the A320neo will be a game-changer. With superior fuel efficiency, extended range, and enhanced passenger comfort, this aircraft is perfectly suited for medium-haul routes like Amman-Mumbai and Amman-Delhi.
Additionally, our wide-body Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners will enhance long-haul connectivity, particularly for Indian travelers flying to Europe and North America via Amman.
With India focusing on boosting inbound tourism, how is your airline working with tourism boards, airports, and other stakeholders to facilitate increased connectivity and seamless travel experiences?
India and Jordan share a deep historical and cultural connection, and we see tremendous potential in promoting Jordan as a boutique destination for Indian travelers. We are closely working with the Jordan Tourism Board to drive awareness about Jordan’s iconic attractions like Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum.
