Ryanair has announced its largest-ever winter schedule to Amman, connecting Jordan with 18 destinations across 12 European countries — including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
This record schedule for Winter 2025/26 will deliver more than 300,000 seats, marking a strong comeback for Ryanair operations in the region and highlighting Jordan’s growing importance as a leading tourism destination in the Middle East.
Ryanair’s Major Expansion in Jordan
The Irish low-cost carrier also revealed a major investment proposal for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which aims to:
- Increase traffic by +360%, reaching 3 million annual seats
- Operate 50 direct routes from Europe to Jordan
- Launch new flights to Marka (Amman) Airport
- Maintain year-round flights to Aqaba
Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson said the record schedule underlines the airline’s long-term commitment to Jordan:
“With 84 weekly flights across 18 routes to 12 European countries, this investment will ensure Jordan remains a key tourist destination this winter — delivering enhanced connectivity, increased tourism, and economic growth with Europe’s lowest fares.”
He added that Ryanair’s partnership with Jordan’s pro-growth government has been instrumental in driving this expansion and attracting millions of European travelers to experience Jordan’s rich culture and history.
Boost for Jordanian Tourism and Economy
Jordan’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Dr. Emad Hijazeen, described the announcement as a “truly exceptional milestone” for the country’s aviation and tourism sectors.
He emphasized that Ryanair’s expansion supports Jordan’s economy and creates new opportunities across the tourism value chain — from hotels and restaurants to local travel services.
The Jordan Tourism Board Managing Director, Dr. Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat, also praised the airline’s role in transforming Jordan’s visibility among European travelers:
“Since 2018, our partnership with Ryanair has brought over one million visitors from Europe, helping Jordan achieve record-breaking tourism numbers. Joint marketing initiatives have showcased Jordan as a must-visit destination for all kinds of travelers — from cultural explorers to adventure seekers and families alike.”
Key Takeaway for Travelers
For European travelers, this expansion means more affordable and direct flight options to explore Jordan’s breathtaking attractions — from the ancient city of Petra and the Wadi Rum desert, to the Dead Sea and vibrant Amman.
With Europe’s lowest fares and year-round connectivity, Ryanair is making it easier than ever to experience Jordan this winter.
