Royal Jordanian has launched its new regular route from Amman to the Chinese city of Guangzhou, with three flights per week, serving the active trade and commerce traffic between the capital of Jordan and one of the most important trading ports of China.

Guangzhou will be Royal Jordanian’s second Chinese destination and the fifth in the Far East. The others are Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. The airline flies to Guangzhou via Bangkok on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, using its wide-body Boeing 787, which is configured with 24 flat-bed seats in Crown (business class) and 246 standard seats in economy; or Airbus 330 aircraft, with 24 angle-flat seats and 259 standard seats.

“Adding Guangzhou to the route network is in line with the strategy that RJ is now implementing; one of the pillars of this strategy is to review the route network and open new, profitable markets,” says Royal Jordanian president and CEO Captain Suleiman Obeidat. “Guangzhou, the 56th destination on the RJ network, will be an added value to the network, meeting the demand of tourists and businessmen in the two countries, as well as of tradesmen from different neighboring countries, such as Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Palestine.” www.rj.com
