The arrival of the Turkish low-cost carrier, a fully-owned
subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, marked the commencement of direct flights
between Amman and four Turkish cities — Trabzon, Ankara, Bodrum and Dalaman —
underscoring efforts to grow QAIA’s airline network and offer passengers a
wider range of direct routes, according to the statement.
The inaugural flight was greeted with the customary “water
arch” salute — in the presence of the Turkish Ambassador İsmail Aramaz, and
representatives from AIG and Turkish Airlines, according to the statement.
“We are pleased to welcome the first AnadoluJet flight as
the government of Jordan continues to gradually lift restrictions and reopen
sectors and activities, which will ultimately help to regain passengers
confidence in air travel. This step contributes to the progressive
reestablishment of our airline network and the expansion of travel options
available to our passengers, while also directly stimulating tourism and
enhancing QAIA’s standing as a safe haven for travelers and employees and as
Jordan’s prime gateway to the world,” commented Airport International Group
CEO, Nicolas Claude.
