The frequency of the flights will be increased to meet future passenger demand. 

RJ’s Boeing 787 will depart tomorrow early in the morning. On board the inaugural flight will be a RJ delegation headed by RJ’s Chief Commercial Officer Dr. Majdi Sabri, a press delegation, officials from Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) and tour operators. 

Guangzhou will be RJ’s second Chinese destination and the fifth in the Far East. The others are: Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.

Flights to Guangzhou, China's third largest city and the largest in the south-central region of the country, are bound to serve the active trade and commerce traffic between Jordan and China. 

Royal Jordanian President/ CEO Captain Suleiman Obeidat said that adding Guangzhou to the route network is in line with the strategy that RJ is now implementing; one of the pillars of this strategy is to review the route network and open new, profitable markets.
