Royal Jordanian Airlines to Launch New IAD Service

Royal Jordanian Airlines will begin new nonstop service between Amman's Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) on March 23, 2025. The capital-to-capital flights will operate on Tuesdays and Sundays year-round on a Boeing 787 aircraft configured for 270 passengers in business and economy class.

"We extend a warm welcome to Royal Jordanian Airlines at Washington Dulles International Airport, the U.S. National Capital Region's premier international gateway," said Chryssa Westerlund, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority executive vice president and chief revenue officer. "Royal Jordanian's new nonstop service to Amman will deepen ties between our two capitals. This route provides an important connection for government, business and tourism between Washington, D.C., and the Middle East, which is an important and growing market for Dulles International."

The new service will be Royal Jordanian Airlines' first nonstop connection between Amman and Washington.

"Our upcoming first flight between the two capitals, Washington, D.C., and Amman, marks a significant milestone in RJ's global expansion strategy, making this the fourth U.S. city we fly directly to," stated Royal Jordanian CEO Mr. Samer Majali. "By linking these two dynamic markets, we aim to stimulate tourism, trade and investment opportunities. This crucial connection provides seamless connectivity to the Gulf, Levant and North Africa, reinforcing our commitment to providing exceptional service and connecting people across the globe, aligning with RJ's five-year expansion strategy."

Jordan's ambassador to the United States, Dina Kawar, called the new air service "a bridge across worlds" that will allow travelers "to feel the pulse of Jordan's rich tapestry - its ancient landscapes, its modern rhythms, its fierce embrace of both heritage and future. For those who venture to Jordan, whether out of curiosity, a need to reconnect, or the call of commerce, this flight will be a seamless journey into a place that exists both outside of time and firmly in the now," she said.

The schedule for the new service, effective March 23, 2025, is as follows:
