In a significant boost to air connectivity between India and the Middle East, Royal Jordanian Airlines has launched a new nonstop service between Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), commencing June 19, 2025. The new year-round route will operate four times a week—on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays—using the modern Airbus A320neo aircraft.
This strategic route marks a milestone in strengthening bilateral ties between India and Jordan, offering seamless travel options and expanding access to over 50 destinations across the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, the United States, and Canada. The launch not only enhances trade and tourism between the two nations but also positions Jordan as a compelling, easily accessible destination for Indian travelers.
With the new direct service, Indian tourists can now explore Jordan’s rich cultural heritage, natural wonders, and warm hospitality in just five hours. From marveling at the ancient rose-red city of Petra—one of the Seven Wonders of the World—to floating in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea or experiencing the cinematic desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Kingdom of Jordan offers an unforgettable escape for every kind of traveler. Indian nationals booking tourist packages on this route will also benefit from visa-free entry to Jordan, further simplifying travel.
Mr. Karim Makhlouf, Chief Commercial Officer of Royal Jordanian, commented on the launch: “With direct access to Jordan, a captivating country rich in history and culture, passengers can now easily explore its inspiring landscapes. This expansion reflects our dedication to showcasing Jordan’s unique allure and sharing its vibrant traditions and renowned hospitality with travelers from India.”
Expressing her support for the launch, Ms. Isha Goyal, CEO of STIC Travel Group, stated: “The new direct service between Mumbai and Amman is more than just a flight—it is a bridge between two ancient civilizations. This long-awaited route will deepen tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between our nations. Jordan, as a distinctive destination in the Levant, has immense potential to captivate Indian travelers, and we are proud to be part of this meaningful milestone.”
Royal Jordanian’s Mumbai–Amman service offers Indian passengers convenient and comfortable global travel with competitive fares and well-coordinated schedules. As a member of the oneworld airline alliance since 2007, the airline ensures travelers access to premium global services and a vast international network.
With this new route, Royal Jordanian is not only expanding its footprint in South Asia but also inviting Indian tourists to discover Jordan’s fascinating blend of ancient history, modern vitality, and authentic Arabian charm.
