Royal Jordanian will operate the route to Queen Alia International airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, complementing its existing daily Heathrow service.
The inaugural flight departed on Sunday (3 March), connecting Stansted with Royal Jordanian’s global network.
Stansted’s aviation director Simon Gorrighan said the route would open up Jordan’s golden triangle – the Wadi Rum desert, the ancient city of Petra and the popular Red Sea diving destination Aqaba.
