Royal Jordanian Airlines, the national flag carrier of Jordan, has announced plans to begin direct flights on the Amman-Dhaka-Amman route.
The Bangladesh travellers can avail further connections to various destinations in Europe and North America via Amman.
To facilitate its entry into the Bangladeshi market, Royal Jordanian Airlines has appointed Simon Air Travels Limited as its General Sales Agent (GSA) in Bangladesh.
Simon Air Travels will be responsible for ticket sales, marketing services, and providing comprehensive customer and agent support for the airline.
Starting on 8 December, Royal Jordanian Airlines will begin offline ticket sales in Bangladesh through Simon Air Travels.
Although the specific date for the launch of direct flights is yet to be confirmed, the airline plans to commence operations by mid next year, said Afsiya Jannat Saleh, Managing Director of Simon Air Travels.
She said that the initial ticketing process will be offline, but the process will be on online platforms soon.
Royal Jordanian Airlines currently operates flights to over 45 destinations and over 50 connecting points worldwide, with Amman as its hub.
The addition of Royal Jordanian Airlines strengthens Bangladesh's international air connectivity, providing travellers with more options to reach Europe, North America, and beyond.
The last international airline to launch operations in Bangladesh was Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's leading carrier and a member of Star Alliance.
Ethiopian Airlines began its direct flights between Dhaka and Addis Ababa on 3 November, 2024.
This development reflects Bangladesh's growing importance as a hub for global travel and trade, creating new opportunities for passengers and businesses alike.
