NEWS FLASH
Royal Jordanian Airlines will further boost capacity on its upcoming Amman - Belgrade service, set to launch next April. Following an earlier decision to upgauge select September flights from the 122-seat Embraer E195-E2 to the 189-seat Airbus A321neo, which is expected to join the fleet in the coming months, the airline has now scheduled A320neo operations on select dates in April and May. The 150-seat aircraft is configured with twelve business class seats and 138 in economy.
As recently reported, in preparation for the route launch, Royal Jordanian has signed an agreement with leading Serbian tour operators to offer holiday packages to Aqaba, utilising the new Belgrade - Amman flights. On December 10, the airline, together with its General Sales Agent for Serbia, Galileo Adriatic, will host an event in Belgrade for travel industry stakeholders to celebrate the upcoming service and unveil further details about its plans for the Serbian market.
Sales must be doing well. Good to see.
ReplyDeleteIt's good they have this flexibility. Would be impossible if they had single model fleet...
ReplyDeleteRoyal jordanian seems to be improving by a lot
ReplyDeleteI guess thats why Middle East is on radar for JU, they might be afraid that someone will still the rest of the market.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's already happening
DeleteThey are cooperating with RJ and it certainly won't "take over the market" with 2 weekly flights.
DeleteIt's gonna be 4 weekly soon, according to an earlier article
DeleteNo, the article said that the airline is CONSIDRING 4 weekly from NOVEMBER. That is not "4 weekly soon"

DeleteAh yes, because JU code-shares are so successful. Also, since RJ is the only one operating flights from Jordan to Serbia, the market is already theirs.
JU will be sidelined.
Missed opportunity for JU.
ReplyDeleteI would argue this earlier but since they cooperate with Serbian tour agencies - I agree. And furthermore, that is route which can't be easily copied by almost anyone. Those routes should be JU's cup of tea.
DeleteGoes to show how a proactive commercial approach bears fruits for the company. It is crazy to think that RJ was more proactive in Serbia than JU is in its own country. And no, I am not Nemjee...
ReplyDeleteBut why taking any risk. We are safe with TGD, LCA, VIE, ZRH…
Delete^ likely because the likes of you would have a meltdown if they lost money on risk routes.
DeleteJU put Amman on sale in 2022 and the sales were poor. Give it a break. JU can't fly everywhere just because you want it to. It is normal to have more companies and different airlines and not a 100% monopoly on all routes.
Delete^ it is probably the same person that screams that JU is not letting in competition.
DeleteSo you are saying it is more logical for JU to do well in TBS than in AMM? Are you sure?
Delete2024
AMM: 8.798.595
TBS: 4.750.830
Amman is a large market with lots of O&D demand, both ethnic travel and tourism. This is a market that was on JU's radar for a long time. They should have flown there, Royal Jordanian is showing you why they were wrong.

DeleteDon't pretend smart, just try to see the facts: In 2022 there were still Covid restrictions around the world and JU didn't have that large long and short haul network, nor need for transfer routes. Also, Jordan market surely developed in the meantime for a better. At the end, if RJ is starting the route, there's surely a demand. So yes, another missed opportunity for JU
You have to deal with the fact that JU can't fly everywhere with its 20 something planes. It flies to close to 100 destinations. You should be happy that you have more choice and options. Not endlessly complaining about an airline that already gives you the opportunity to fly to 100 cities. Repeating like a parrot the same thing under every RJ topic is not normal. On the other hand you neither have facts, figures or anything of the sort to make conclusions on who missed what.
Delete+100
DeletePrime example for some airline that is thinking out of the box.
ReplyDeleteKudos to that employee at RJ that came up with the idea.
Missed opportunity for JU.
