Irish leasing company AWAS will supply five A320s and two A321s.

Headquartered in Dublin, with offices in New York, Miami, and Singapore, AWAS is one of the largest aircraft leasing companies in the world. It owns a portfolio of more than 207 modern aircraft with a further 117 aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing. The aircraft portfolio is on lease to over 90 airline customers in 44 countries.

Royal Jordanian chief executive Hussein Dabbas said that six of the aircraft were replacements for those already in the fleet. There is one additional A320.

The first three A320s will join the fleet in April next year with the other four aircraft coming in 2012.

Royal Jordanian is understood to also be considering another Airbus A300 and an additional Embraer E190.
