Friday, November 29, 2024 Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) recently announced the resumption of its flights to Beirut, marking a pivotal development in the region’s travel and tourism recovery. According to a statement released on Thursday and shared by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, the airline confirmed that two daily flights to Beirut will recommence starting Sunday. This decision follows clearance granted by the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) and comes amid improved security conditions facilitated by a ceasefire agreement.
The resumption of RJ flights aligns with a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon’s Hizbollah forces earlier this week. Reports suggest that the ceasefire has been holding steady since Wednesday, allowing a semblance of normalcy to return to the conflict-impacted region. As border residents cautiously return to their homes, the decision to reinstate air connectivity signals a step toward fostering regional stability.
The recommencement of flights by Royal Jordanian Airlines is expected to have a ripple effect on the travel and tourism sectors in both Jordan and Lebanon. For Jordan, it reinforces its position as a regional hub, showcasing the country’s ability to swiftly adapt and resume services even in challenging geopolitical climates. For Lebanon, the development offers a glimmer of hope for its struggling tourism industry, which has been battered by prolonged unrest and economic difficulties.
The airline’s.
