Amman: Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) announced it is launching direct, regular flights between Amman and Casablanca, Morocco, starting Thursday, with two flights a week. It is part of the national carrier's strategy to expand its global network of destinations and boost inbound tourism to Jordan.
According to Jordan News Agency, RJ Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali stated that operating flights to Casablanca comes within the framework of strengthening air connectivity between the two countries. He emphasized their keen interest in finding new areas of joint cooperation, facilitating the movement of citizens of both countries, serving students and businessmen, and enhancing economic, trade, and tourism relations between Jordan and Morocco.
Majali also mentioned that the airline will operate the Amman-Casablanca route with its latest Airbus A320neo aircraft. Adding Casablanca to the airline's network is seen as a strategic step toward expanding Jordan's presence in key markets in North Africa. Morocco, noted for its rich culture, history, and economic potential, provides travelers with easier and more convenient travel options, whether for leisure or business.
Furthermore, Majali stressed that promoting tourism to Jordan and expanding the airline's network are key pillars of RJ's plan. The efforts aim to make Amman a key gateway to the Levant while strengthening tourism and business ties with North Africa. Casablanca is considered a valuable addition to Royal Jordanian's network and destinations, especially following the recent launch of other vital destinations, including Washington, Berlin, Mumbai, and Moscow.
Passengers can book through the airline's website www.rj.com, the Royal Jordanian app, Royal Jordanian sales offices, a travel agent, or by calling the call center at +96265100000.
