Royal Jordanian Airlines confirmed on 25 October that it will upgrade its Berlin Brandenburg (BER)–Amman schedule from three to four weekly flights for the winter 2025/26 season. The additional Sunday service, beginning this month, complements existing Monday, Wednesday and Saturday rotations and brings total weekly capacity on the route to more than 1,400 seats.
The move follows a 17 percent year-on-year rise in Germany–Jordan passenger traffic and reflects the Gulf region’s growing popularity as a winter-sun alternative for German leisure travellers. For corporate mobility managers the news is equally important: Amman remains a regional headquarters for engineering consultancies and a staging base for numerous aid organisations operating in the Levant.
Flights will operate with Airbus A320-family aircraft featuring 16 Crown Class business-cabin seats and full-flat beds on select days. Round-trip economy fares currently start at €349, but analysts expect prices to firm once the Sunday flight goes live. Travellers connecting onward to Iraq or the Gulf will benefit from shorter lay-overs at Queen Alia International Airport.
BER management welcomed the expansion, noting that it diversifies the airport’s long-haul portfolio after British Airways moved its London services back to Tegel earlier this year. The Tourism Board of Jordan estimates that the incremental seat capacity could boost German visitor numbers by 12,000 this winter, supporting inbound conference and MICE traffic.
Companies with project staff in the Middle East should update travel policies to include the Sunday flight, which departs Berlin at 15:10 and arrives in Amman at 21:30 local time—timed for Monday-morning onward connections.
