AMMAN, September 14, 2015
Royal Jordanian (RJ) and Turkish Airlines recently signed a codeshare agreement on routes between Jordan and Turkey, which is set to further expand travel opportunities for the customers of the two airlines.
The deal was signed by Royal Jordanian president/CEO Captain Haitham Misto and Turkish Airlines deputy chairman and CEO Temel Kotil, PhD at RJ’s headquarters in Amman.
Under the terms of the agreement, the airlines will place their carrier codes on each other’s flights between Amman and Istanbul and Royal Jordanian will place its carrier code on Turkish Airlines’ flights between Aqaba and Istanbul. The agreement might also enable the two carriers to put their codes on the flights to other destinations operated beyond the two capitals in the future.
Kotil said: “We are extremely pleased to sign this codeshare agreement with Royal Jordanian and aim to improve our partnership to maximise the travel opportunities offered to our passengers through the networks of both airlines. Additionally, we believe that this partnership with Royal Jordanian will bring enormous benefit to both airlines from a commercial perspective in rapidly growing relations between our countries.”
Both Royal Jordanian Airlines and Turkish Airlines operate 14 frequencies weekly Istanbul – Amman flights, and three weekly regular flights between Istanbul and Aqaba being operated by Turkish Airlines. – TradeArabia News Service
