Emirates will add a third daily flight to Jordan from August 1, representing a further ramping up of services to Amman after Emirates’ flights to Jordan went double daily in October 2012.

"This is a direct response to very healthy demand for our services," said Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Centre. "With a triple daily service, we will be able to provide even greater convenience to passengers flying to and from Jordan and throughout the rest of our network." 

Passengers transferring in Dubai have a choice of more than 140 Emirates destinations to choose from, including Jakarta, Shanghai, Seoul, Guangzhou, Beijing, Manila, Hong Kong, Sydney, Los Angeles and Boston. A ninth U.S destination, Chicago, will be added from 5 August.

Jordan is one of the most popular tourism destinations in the Middle East and amongst the airline’s earliest routes, launching in 1986. In 2011, Emirates marked 25 years of service to Amman.

With the three daily flights from August, Emirates SkyCargo will be able to further support international trade opportunities making use of the cargo deck of aircraft.
