Royal Jordanian Airlines has taken delivery of its first Airbus A320neo from the aircraft leasing company Avolon. The handover took place at a ceremony in Toulouse, France, and the aircraft is currently en route to the airline's base in Amman. This addition aims to enhance Royal Jordanian's short-haul connectivity.
The arrival of the A320neo marks a significant step for Royal Jordanian as it seeks to modernize its narrowbody fleet and position itself as a key transit hub in the Middle East. The airline plans to expand its fleet size by almost 50% over the coming years, receiving more A320neos and their stretched counterpart, the A321neo.
According to an announcement by Avolon, this is "the first of eight A320neos to be delivered by Avolon over the next 12 months." Current tracking data shows that the plane, registered as JY-RAD and named Jerash after a city in northern Jordan, was flying over northern Greece towards Amman.
