Earlier this week, we wrote about Royal Jordanian Airlines, a oneworld member carrier and Jordan’s flag carrier, planning to return to India in 2025. The airline used to operate flights to India back in 2014, so this would bring the airline back to the country after a decade. Now we have firm dates and schedules from the airline.

Royal Jodanian’s return to Mumbai and Delhi.
Royal Jordanian used to operate flights to India in 2014. However, the airline stopped operations to Mumbai on September 10, 2014, and Delhi on October 31, 2014. The airline discontinued these services due to reduced demand at the time.
RJ has now announced its intention to fly into Mumbai, with the resumption of service on April 16, 2025 (arriving in Mumbai on April 17, 2025). The airline will launch four times weekly operations on this 2449-mile route, with A320neo aircraft. The timings will be as follows:
AMM 23:55-08:05(+1) BOM A320N 37
BOM 09:30-12:50 AMM A320N 41
AMM 20:45-04:55(+1) BOM A320N 15
BOM 6:10-9:30 AMM A320N 26
This will be followed by the resumption of 4X weekly service to Delhi on September 16, 2025 (arriving in Delhi on September 17, 2025). The timings of this flight will be as follows:
AMM 19:20-03:55(+1) DEL 27
DEL 05:10-09:15 AMM 13
AMM 23:55-08:30(+1) DEL 46
DEL 09:45-13:50 AMM 57
The flights are yet to go on sale.
Bottomline
2025 will see Royal Jordanian arrive with flights to Mumbai and Delhi from Amman in Jordan, a resumption of service after more than a decade. Mumbai flights will resume in April 2025, and Delhi flights will resume in September 2025. Most likely, these will be operated by narrowbody aircraft.

RJ plans to operate A321neo. Unfortunately for the incoming night flight from Amman to Mumbai, it’s not very comfortable even in Business Class. Last year I flew Turkish A321 from MCT to IST on their new product in Business Class but seat was very uncomfortable for the overnight journey.
@Krishnakumar, the A320neo, I am told. Not the A321.
