Amman, November 20 (Petra) -- Royal Jordanian (RJ) will launch a new nonstop route between Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Amman and Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., according to an RJ statement.

The new service will commence in mid-March 2025, solidifying RJ's commitment to expanding its global network and enhancing connectivity between the Middle East and North America.

The new route will be operated twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Sundays, utilising RJ's Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The addition to RJ's network aims to strengthen ties between the two capitals, supporting travel for government, business, tourism and ethnic communities.

RJ President/CEO Samer Majali said: "We are thrilled to introduce this new nonstop service between Amman and Washington, D.C. This route not only enhances our network connectivity but also underscores our dedication to fostering stronger ties between Jordan and the United States. We look forward to offering our passengers a superior travel experience and contributing to economic and cultural exchange between our nations."

He added: "This route is another step toward fulfilling our vision of being the airline of choice in the Levant for travellers seeking world-class services and convenience while fostering stronger ties in business, tourism, and cultural exchange."

The Washington, D.C. route complements Royal Jordanian's direct flights to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). Together, these routes highlight RJ's role in connecting the Levant with key cities across North America.
