Royal Jordanian to increase flights to US

Vice President/ Commercial Hussein Dabbas said that starting with mid-May 2006 the airline will increase its flights between Amman and the United States of America using the Airbus 340 aircraft in an effort to accommodate the continuous growth in demand to travel to New York, Chicago and Detroit stations.

He added that this unprecedented increase in the number of the flights to the US has boosted RJ’s nonstop service to New York from four to five weekly flights and to Chicago from three to six weekly flights, in addition to two weekly flights to Detroit.

Dabbas also said that the number of flights was increased to meet the needs of RJ passengers. Last summer witnessed a remarkable demand on all routes, particularly those servicing the US, the Arab Gulf and Europe. Increasing the frequency of flights gives more options to tourists or business people to secure timely connections, while also serving the Jordanian and Arab communities residing in various American states.
Royal Jordanian first operated to the United States in 1977 when it opened its New York station. The airline has had a code-share agreement with America West Airlines since September 2004. The agreement enables RJ passengers traveling via RJ’s stations in New York, Chicago and Detroit to continue their flight with America West to its hubs in Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and from there to other America West’s destinations in the US, Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico.

Jordan and the United States singed an “open skies” treaty in 1996, the first such treaty for the US with an aviation partner outside Europe. Under the terms of the treaty, airlines from either country are provided open access and unrestricted frequency rights to points in the two countries.

Ieri sera non sono riuscito a postare la news xchè il sito era in tilt , quindi l'aggiungo qui al tuo 3d Ale:

Royal Jordanian Airlines ha ordinato 7 Embraer 195s che inizieranno ad essere consegnati ad ottobre di quest'anno. Il vettore intende utilizzarli per le rotte in Medio Oriente, Africa e Europa.
Inoltre sta valutando come rinnovare la sua flotta a lungo raggio che attualmente è formata da A340 e A310.

Con questa macchina secondo me potrebbero aprire pure altre destinazioni europee 'minori' o incrementare le frequenze su quelle già consolidate.

Si penso anche io, anche se l'incremento in Medio Oriente è più auspicabile, dato che RJ intende fare di Amman un hub per la regione e garantire sempre più comode coincidenze per le destinazioni limitrofe.

Ciao!

aggiungo agli ottimi ragionamenti fatti fin qui che l'uso di macchine come gli Embraer per destinazioni minori trova un senso anche alla luce del ruolo che RJ avrà in OW dopo il suo ingresso ufficiale!
