A new A321-200PF freighter joined the RJ fleet, bolstering its capacity to meet the cargo industry's increasing demand. This addition aligns with the airline’s fleet strategy to reach 41 aircraft in the coming few years.

The freighter is leased on a long-term basis from UMBF and is one of the most versatile aircraft

RJ Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali said that RJ has developed the air cargo industry through the implementation of several strategies, increasing sales and improving the quality of services provided to customers in terms of speed, quality, and accuracy. He added that RJ aims to enhance Jordan’s position as the logistics hub in the region and increase its share in the freight market on a regional and international level, supported by the new cargo terminal that is fully automated, serving all kinds of cargo products.

Majali also expressed his optimism that the next phase will be a new stage of growth in the cargo sector, pushing the kingdom’s economic development and supporting Jordanian exports to reach different regions of the world, particularly with the modernization process that the company is carrying out for the entire fleet and the introduction of new aircraft. Furthermore, Royal Jordanian looks optimistically forward to completing the project to update and expand the fully automated new air cargo services building, which will positively impact Royal Jordanian's strategy to make Amman a central hub for the Middle East and a gateway for trade in the region.
