Lagos and Nairobi to join Royal Jordanian route network

Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) will reach two new destinations in December, Lagos on the 3rd and Nairobi 16th.

Lagos will be twice weekly with a 280-seat two-class A330 whilst Nairobi will also be two-class but a narrow-bodied Airbus A319.

RJ President/CEO Hussein Dabbas said the company’s effort to inaugurate these two routes comes in line with the expansion strategy RJ is undertaking in an attempt to find new tourism and travel markets, given the decline in tourism movement from the traditional markets of Europe and North America.

The airline is conducting studies to see whether it is feasible to inaugurate routes to Accra, and Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.  RJ is working on putting these cities on its route network in the near future.

Dabbas said that the route additions also support the national efforts aimed at enhancing Jordan’s position as a gateway to the Middle East and a hub that connects this region to the whole world. www.rj.com
