About Royal Jordanian

Royal Jordanian's role as Jordan's national carrier has now long been established reaching a mile stone after celebrating its 46th anniversary in December 2009. Today, under the invaluable guidance and directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the airline carries out its mission, while continuously modernizing and upgrading its services, renewing its fleet and expanding its route network and operations.

Royal Jordanian prides itself on providing a high quality of customer service. It offers two cabin classes on all flights – Crown (Business) and Economy class. On its Longhaul Airbus A330 and A340, Crown class offers sleeper seats that recline to fully flat for optimum sleep comfort and luxury in air travel.
