In a proud and historic moment for Jordanian aviation, Royal Jordanian Airlines officially launched its nonstop service between Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Amman and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). This strategic route strengthens the bridge between Jordan and the United States, offering a seamless travel experience for diplomats, business travelers, tourists, and the Jordanian diaspora abroad.
The celebration took place at QAIA, where the inaugural flight was officially launched in the presence of Royal Jordanian’s Vice Chairman and CEO, Mr. Samer Majali, along with senior Jordanian government officials and representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Amman. Their attendance highlights the national importance of this route in advancing bilateral relations and opening new channels of exchange and collaboration.
The new direct route not only enhances access to the capital of the United States but also symbolizes Royal Jordanian’s ongoing commitment to expanding its global reach and reinforcing Amman’s role as a regional hub.
To mark the occasion on the other side of the world, a special Iftar dinner was hosted in Washington, D.C., where dignitaries, partners, and media representatives gathered to celebrate this milestone. Several speeches were delivered, emphasizing how this direct link further cements the enduring friendship between the two countries and opens doors to new opportunities in tourism, education, trade, and diplomacy.
“This launch is a meaningful step forward, not just for Royal Jordanian but for Jordan as a whole. It reflects our vision to connect Amman with key international capitals and make travel to Jordan more accessible to our friends and partners abroad,” said Mr. Majali.
For travelers, this means a smoother, more convenient way to discover Jordan’s timeless wonders — from the rose-red city of Petra to the vast landscapes of Wadi Rum and the healing waters of the Dead Sea.
As a leading destination management company in Jordan, AXIS celebrates this achievement alongside Royal Jordanian and warmly welcomes the travelers this new route will bring.
