President/CEO Samer Majali said that the twice-weekly operation will service the active commercial movement between the two countries. The service will also have a great impact on businessmen, students and tourists, and will stimulate relations between Jordan and Ukraine in all fields of interest.
He added that the company conducted feasibility studies to open this route, particularly that Ukraine enjoys a distinguished geographic position in Eastern Europe. The airline will become a polarization carrier for passengers in the region.
RJ will operate its Embraer 195 aircraft between the two cities, departing from Amman Sundays and Wednesdays. The journey between Amman and Kiev lasts 3:30 hours.
Kiev is the second station RJ opens in 2008. On January 22, the airline inaugurated its first nonstop flight to Hong Kong. With these two destinations, RJ serves 56 cities spread over four continents.
Kiev, with its 3 million people, is an important industrial, scientific, educational and cultural centre of Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions and world-famous historical landmarks.
