"RJ is a long-established company and a national icon" of Jordan and RJ is "proud of [their] national role in connecting Jordan to the world" (Samar Majali, CEO of Royal Jordanian).

Tomorrow, Dec. 15, RJ marks its 60^th anniversary. It is the date when it was launched by His Majesty King Hussein, in 1963.

Since then, RJ has been an ambassador of goodwill and friendship to other cultures. Now, under the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II, RJ, which has greatly progressed and modernized, continues to play this role and consolidate its outstanding position.

RJ Vice Chairman/CEO Samer Majali expressed appreciation for the Jordanian government's continuous interest in the airline's journey, and its keenness to see it 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.

RJ has all the elements that can make it even more successful and help it create a brighter future, says Majali. It endeavors to join all other national efforts to project Jordan as a tourist destination and make Amman a gateway to the region, not least by offering more travel options to customers and building a robust regional network with increased frequencies to different cities. In the near future, RJ will expand its network to serve 60 destinations.
