First Airbus A319 joins RJ fleet tomorrow

RJ, a oneworld member, contracted to introduce this type of aircraft into its fleet during this year and the beginning of next year, in line with its aircraft modernization plan.

The twin-engine aircraft carries 110 passengers; 96 on economy class and 14 on crown class. Its speed reaches 960 km/hour and it has a cargo capacity of three tons.

The newly manufactured Airbus A319 brings a new standard of amenities and comfort to RJ passengers traveling to medium-range destinations in Europe, the Indian Subcontinent and the Arab Gulf.

The airliner is distinguished by modern features, such as spacious seat pitch and state-of-the-art audio channels and personal video screens available for each passenger on economy and crown classes.

This type of aircraft, belonging to the Airbus A320 family, will boost the company's services, enabling it to better serve the regional and medium-haul route network.

It will also augment RJ's existing fleet of Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft assimilated in the fleet in the past two years.

The second Airbus A319 will join the fleet in October this year and the remaining two in February and March next year.

Four other planes will be introduced during the coming three months; two Airbus A321 and two Embraer 175, whereas two Airbus A321 will be phased out. The number of aircraft will reach 30 in June this year, reaching over 55 worldwide destinations.

The airline designated names of Jordanian cities on its new aircraft that joined the fleet in the last two years and the ones that will join as a part of its mission of promoting Jordan to the world.
