Royal Jordanian Airlines has announced the launch of a new direct flight connecting Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai. Commencing on June 19, 2025, this year-round service will operate four times a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, utilizing a modern Airbus A320neo aircraft.
This strategic expansion aims to bolster air connectivity between India and Jordan, while also providing Indian travelers with seamless onward access to over 50 destinations across the Middle East, Gulf region, and North Africa.
Gateway to an Ancient Land
The new route is poised to unlock Jordan’s extraordinary attractions for Indian tourists. With convenient direct access, travelers from Mumbai can now embark on an unforgettable journey through the Kingdom. In itineraries as short as three days or as comprehensive as seven, visitors can explore the breathtaking rose-red city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
