Ryanair expands in Middle East with first Jordan flights

Ryanair is to begin flying from Jordan for the first time next month as it expands its operations in the Middle East. The airline, which already flies to Israel and Morocco, will begin with a route from Amman to Paphos in Cyprus in March, it said. Next winter it will fly 14 routes from Amman and Aqaba. The airline, which carried almost 130m passengers last year, expects to fly 430,000 passengers per year to and from Jordan, it said. "Enhancing air connectivity is one of the key areas Jordan is focussing on given its impact on unlocking economic growth through attracting business investment as well as spurring tourism," Jordan's minister of Tourism Lina Annab said, welcoming Ryanair's announcement. <br/>
