The air show overhead King Hussein Park included two tours over Amman, where people from all over the kingdom came to attend the party. A large number of the airline’s employees – in uniform - took part in the parade, preceded by a float featuring an RJ aircraft.
Since the start of the year the national carrier carried out a broad promotional campaign in celebration of this event. The logo of the Great Arab Revolt was printed on all RJ correspondence, magazines and publications throughout 2016, highlighting the importance of the occasion and the airline’s keenness to be a part of the national celebrations of this and other events.
RJ also broadcast a movie in the Crown Lounge at Queen Alia International Airport, in recognition of this historical national event, presenting RJ as the national carrier of the kingdom for more than half a century.
