Notes and media contacts

About Royal Jordanian Airlines:

Jordan's national carrier was founded in 1963 by a Royal Decree of His Majesty, King Hussein, as Alia. The trade name was changed to Royal Jordanian, in 1986, and privatization began in 1999.

Throughout these years, the company has steadily renewed its fleet and services with the latest aircraft, booking systems, and alliances with other international airlines, and has constantly increased its number of destinations. It also earned a number of certifications from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the International Organization of Standardization (ISO), among others. Alliances and codeshare agreements further enhance the company's worldwide services.

Today, Royal Jordanian Airlines has a well-defined vision - to be the Airline of choice connecting Jordan and the Levant with the world - and mission - to ensure customers always recommend our airline.

The airline received its first Embraer 195 in the end of 2006, and currently operates five
EMBRAER 195s and two Embraer 175s. Its modern fleet of 24 aircraft covers nearly 60
destinations on four continents.
