BRUSSELS FLIGHTS: Royal Jordanian Airlines has revived its flights to Brussels after a six year suspension.
Royal Jordanian Airlines has re-instated flights to Brussels six years after suspending the service for commercial reasons, it announced on Wednesday.
Jordan’s national carrier launched the service for the second time on Wednesday after keeping tabs on the route’s financial benefits.
Twice-weekly flights on Wednesdays and Saturdays have been introduced. The service will be carried out using A319s.
In a statement, Royal Jordanian president and CEO Samer Majali said the service would “stimulate relations between Jordan and Belgium and facilitate transportation of businessmen and goods”.
He added the route would prove popular with Jordanian and Arab communities in Belgium, and boost tourism in both countries.
Last July, an open skies agreement was signed between Belgium and Jordan, granting both countries 3rd and 4th freedom rights to operate direct, unlimited frequencies between Brussels and Amman.
Brussels is one of the first cities that Royal Jordanian flew to in 1974.
The Belgian capital, with more than one million inhabitants, hosts the European Union’s headquarters.
In June, Royal Jordanian will commence flights to Benghazi in Libya, increasing the airline’s network to 56 destinations.
