Emirates to fly twice daily to Jordan

Emirates will fly double daily to Jordan from October 1, providing greater access to one of the most popular tourism destinations in the Middle East. Amman is one of Emirates’ longest established routes. The airline has been flying to the Jordanian capital since 1986, the year after Emirates was launched. On September 1 last year, Emirates marked 25 years of flying to Jordan, a service that began with just three flights per week. The current 13 weekly flights to Amman will increase to 14 per week — an extra flight on Friday — from October 1. The 14th weekly flight, EK901, will leave Dubai at 07.25hrs each Friday and arrive in Amman at 09.20hrs — a journey of just under three hours. Gulf News
