The General Assembly of Royal Jordanian Airlines held its ordinary and extraordinary meeting today, Monday, April 20, 2026, via electronic video conferencing technology.

The meeting was attended by members of the Board, a representative of the Companies Controller, representatives of the Government Investments Management Company, the auditors (Ernst & Young), and a group of shareholders and employees of the company.

 

During the meeting, the Board of Directors' report on the company's operations and results for the fiscal year 2025, the future business plan for 2026, the auditors' report, the annual balance sheet, and the profit and loss statement for the fiscal year ending [date missing] were discussed. The General Assembly approved all these items. In a related matter, an extraordinary General Assembly meeting was convened for several important reasons aligned with the company's strategic direction, aiming to strengthen its investment base and expand and diversify its revenue streams.

In his opening remarks to the meeting, Engineer Samer Majali affirmed that 2025 marked an exceptional milestone in the company's journey, as Royal Jordanian achieved unprecedented financial and operational results that confirm the success of the transformation strategy it has pursued since 2021.

He also appreciated the generous Hashemite patronage of Royal Jordanian and His Majesty the King’s visit to the company and laying the foundation stone for the air cargo building to affirm Jordan’s logistical role, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein’s recent visit to the company’s main building, in addition to the continuous support provided by the Jordanian government, which has had a significant impact on enabling it to implement its strategic plans, overcome various challenges, enhance its operational efficiency, and improve its institutional performance.

Al-Majali explained that the achievements that Royal Jordanian was able to accomplish during the year 2025 reflect the strength of the operating model and the effectiveness of cost control and revenue maximization policies, as the company witnessed a fundamental transformation in its financial results, achieving a net profit of 21.5 million dinars, including non-recurring capital gains, compared to a net loss of 3.5 million dinars in 2024, driven by a qualitative leap in operating revenues that grew by 11% to reach 829 million dinars.

The company also achieved record operational indicators, including transporting 4.4 million passengers, with a growth rate of 18%, and recording an aircraft load factor of 81%, the highest in the company’s history, and advanced levels of flight punctuality, which placed Royal Jordanian among the top five airlines globally in terms of on-time commitment, reflecting the efficiency of the air network management and improved operational returns.

In the context of fleet modernization, Al-Majali explained that 2025 witnessed a significant achievement with the introduction of 19 modern A320neo and Embraer E2 aircraft to serve short- and medium-haul routes. The company also began upgrading the cabins of its Boeing 787-8 aircraft and introducing internet services, thus completing the modernization of approximately 80% of the company's fleet, making it among the most modern in the region. The company will complete the modernization of all its aircraft by the end of 2026, which will see the addition of the first two Boeing 787-9 aircraft to serve long-haul destinations, along with three Airbus A321neo aircraft for medium-haul flights, as part of a vision to increase the fleet size to approximately 40 aircraft in the coming years.

Royal Jordanian also continued its qualitative expansion, launching vital destinations such as Washington, Mumbai, Damascus, Aleppo, Benghazi, Casablanca, and Najaf, while the most important new destinations for 2026 will be Hamburg, Munich, Dallas, and Vienna.

On the investment front and in rebuilding its investment system, Royal Jordanian raised its stake in the Jordanian Aircraft Catering Company to 51%, and continued its full ownership of JATS Simulation Training Company, in addition to owning 90% of the Jordanian Airports Company and reactivating Amman City Airport, which enhances the integration of the air transport system and support services.

Regarding the performance of the first quarter of 2026, Majali explained that the results will be affected by a number of exceptional circumstances in the region, most notably the regional escalation and the repercussions of the war, and the resulting disruptions in civil aviation traffic, the rerouting of some flights and the changing of their routes in order to maintain the highest safety standards, in addition to the sharp rise in global fuel prices, which was reflected in the operating cost.

Al-Majali emphasized that Royal Jordanian distinguished itself with a responsible national role during the war period, by ensuring the continuity of civil air transport operations, and dealing with operational challenges with flexibility and efficiency, which contributed to maintaining the movement of travel and passengers, and supporting the sectors related to tourism, trade and humanitarian services.
