RJ president/CEO Samer Majali said:
" the twice-weekly flight will service the active commercial movement between the two countries, as well as businessmen, students and tourists, and will stimulate relations between Jordan and Ukraine."


He added that the company opened this route after conducting feasibility studies, particularly given Ukraine's strategic geographic position in Eastern Europe.

RJ will operate the Embraer 195 aircraft between the two cities, departing from Amman on Sundays and Wednesdays, and from Kiev on Mondays and Thursdays. The trip between Amman and Kiev lasts three-and-a-half hours.

Kiev is the second station RJ opens in 2008. At the beginning of this year, the airline inaugurated its first nonstop flight to Hong Kong. With these two destinations, RJ serves 56 cities spread over four continents.

The oneworld member, RJ, is the first airline in the alliance to serve Kiev from the heart of the Middle East. oneworld airline members serve almost 700 airports in nearly 150 countries, with some 9,000 daily departures.

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.
