Royal Jordanian changes the route of its flight between Amman and Beirut

The flight from Amman to Beirut now heads to the southern of Jordan, into the Egyptian airspace and then over the Mediterranean Sea before landing in Beirut.

AMMAN - Royal Jordanian Airlines changed the route of its operations between Amman and Beirut, starting with March 2, to ensure the safety of passengers and aircraft in light of the ongoing conflict in Syria.

RJ President/CEO Amer Hadidi said that the flight from Amman to Beirut now heads to the southern of Jordan, into the Egyptian airspace and then over the Mediterranean Sea before landing in Beirut.

Hadidi said this move reflects the airline’s commitment to the safety of passengers and security of operations, even though this procedure involves additional costs to the company.

He pointed out that as a result, the duration of the Amman-Beirut flight increased from one hour to one hour and 45 minutes, either way.
