Jordan’s flag carrier airline is resuming weekly domestic flights as the country gears up to also allow international travel following a monthslong grounding of planes. 

Airports including Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, the country’s largest, closed to commercial traffic in mid-March. From today, Royal Jordanian Airlines will run flights between the capital and King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba three times a week.
