Royal Jordanian to Berlin

Berlin is the latest destination for oneworld carrier Royal Jordanian (RJ).  It is the airline’s third target in Germany, the daily Frankfurt service introduced way back in 1970 and Munich, a relatively newcomer, since 2001 with three flights per week. 

Berlin will also be three flights initially and is the 59th destination for RJ.  A two-class Airbus A320 will be used, the aircraft at the outset operating through Tegel but transferring to Brandenburg International (BBI) when that airport opens next year.  This event will more or less coincide with Air Berlin joining the alliance which will open up a further connecting market for RJ in both directions.

RJ President/CEO Hussein Dabbas says that the German routes are proving attractive for the airline with 2010 seeing a noticeable increase, of 15%, in travel on these two sectors, compared to 2009. www.rj.com
