Wednesday, 28 May, 2025 0

Flag carrier Royal Jordanian has received its first Airbus A320neo from lessor Avolon.

The handover took place this week at a ceremony at the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse and is the first of eight A320neos to be delivered by Avolon over the next 12 months.

Royal Jordanian’s first A320neo has a 180 seat all economy layout, and will be deployed on its regional network.

Future deliveries will feature a variety of cabin configurations, from all economy to premium layouts including lie flat beds.

The new aircraft will support Royal Jordanian’s fleet expansion in key markets across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

The A320neo enables 20% lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared to previous-generation Airbus narrowbody aircraft.

Royal Jordanian currently operates a fleet of 24 aircraft flying to 50 destinations and plans to grow its fleet to 41 aircraft by 2028.

Avolon and Royal Jordanian are long-standing partners. 

Samer Majali, CEO of Royal Jordanian, said: “The delivery of our first A320neo marks a significant milestone. This aircraft, with its advanced technology and enhanced fuel efficiency, will enable us to offer improved services to our passengers while reducing our environmental footprint.”
