RJ celebrates 60th anniversary
An RJ flight takes off
Today Royal Jordanian enters its sixth decade of existence as the national carrier of Jordan. RJ was launched by His Majesty King Hussein in 1963 and has since been an ambassador of "goodwill and friendship to other cultures, and a bridge that facilitates tourism and trade with the world," the release said.
On the occasion, RJ Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali expressed appreciation to the Jordanian government for its continued interest in the airline’s journey and its keenness to continue to carry out its duty as Jordan’s flag carrier, a role through which RJ contributes to the Jordanian economy and that makes it a major employer.
He also commended the staff for the hard work and the retirees who built this company, highlighting their vital role in ensuring the success of the company.
RJ carries out activities that help project Jordan as an attractive tourist destination, the release said. It does so by participating in international tourism, travel fairs and international exhibitions, while also acting as a major partner and official carrier of participants in different local and international festivals and conferences.
Majali also said that RJ continues its ambitious strategy that aims to achieve sustainability and preserve the environment by introducing, for example, environment-friendly aircraft in its fleet.
