Royal Jordanian report net loss of $105 million in 2021

Board chairman Said Darwazeh said: “The airline's performance was relatively good in 2021, despite the great challenges it faced due to the pandemic and its immense impact on the air transport industry."

The airline carried 1.6 million passengers in 2021, compared to 752,000 carried in the year before.

Royal Jordanian's chief executive Samer Majali added: "RJ is committed to resuming its operations to destinations to which it suspended flights and to adjusting its frequencies to the currently serviced stations. The company will also fly to new destinations in promising markets, as it intends to raise the number of served stations from 35 to 60 during the next five years.

"The airline is also planning to renew its fleet of aircraft to serve short- and medium-haul flights, and to perform more profitably in the cargo sector and passenger aircraft."
