Royal Jordanian (RJ) and Tunisair have announced a new codeshare agreement which will enable Tunisair customers from around the world to discover new destinations in Jordan and across its wider route network.

Under the new deal, Tunisair will market RJ flights and thus put its carrier code on these flights running between Amman and Tunis.

The codeshare, four-weekly flights are now open for sale.

RJ president/CEO, Stefan Pichler, said: “We are glad to offer our services to Tunisair passengers, who will experience compelling services on board our aircraft. This partnership is the first step on the way to enhancing relations with Tunisair, and will bring great benefit to both airlines, from a commercial perspective.”

“This agreement will give Tunisair customers the opportunity to visit Jordan and learn about its historical and tourist attractions,” he added.

Tunisair CEO, Elyes Mnakbi, said: “We are delighted to be working with Royal Jordanian as a leading carrier in the Middle East and provide high-quality services to passengers on the ground and in the air. This agreement is a new step in the strategic and historical partnership between our countries. It is also an added value towards enhanced air traffic between our companies.” - TradeArabia News Service
