Innovations For Royal Jordanian

www.arabianbusiness.com It was announced recently that as a oneworld member, Royal Jordanian will be the first airline in the Middle East to provide its passengers with OnAir's in-flight internet and mobile phone services, including email, SMS and voice calls.
Royal Jordanian president and CEO Samer Majali emphasises the importance the Amman-based airline is placing on looking to the future and being innovative.
"2007 has been a very good year for Royal Jordanian. We became the first Arab carrier to join oneworld - one of the world's major airline alliances - we won several awards and to top if off we are introducing this pioneering new service," he explains.
Although Royal Jordanian offers the most intra-regional services to Amman, the competition is hotting up with KSA-based low cost carrier (LCC) Sama starting a charter service to Amman in December. The flights are currently operating three times per week departing from King Fahad International Airport in Dammam and King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh.
"Amman shall be our first destination outside the GCC. We have chosen it in response to market demand and to serve the travellers and residents in the kingdom, as well as contributing to increased travel movement for business, family visits, or holidays," explains Sama CEO Andrew Cowen.
"The decision to go into Jordan has been ratified by the open skies initiative that has been embraced by the Jordan Government. Certainly in Saudi Arabia there are a significant number of people with a Jordanian or Syrian background who live there and want to travel back to their respective countries regularly.
"Until now they have been restricted in terms of capacity and relatively high fares. The booking demand for Amman so far has been fantastic. We have taken literally thousands of bookings both through our website and through travel agents - it's proving quite a success."
