Royal Jordan launches services to Algiers from Amman

Royal Jordan became the second carrier to operate on the 3,000-kilometre route from Amman (AMM) to the capital of Algeria, Algiers (ALG), on 25 February. Twice-weekly departures operated with a 110-seater A319 will be boosted to thrice-weekly from April, competing with Air Algerie, which already serves the route offering twice-weekly flights. The addition of the new service brings the total of destinations served by Royal Jordanian in North Africa up to eight, as the carrier already offered three points each in Egypt and Libya, and one in Tunisia.
