RJ receives two A330s
May 25 - The Royal Jordanian (RJ) received two new Airbus A330-200 aircraft this week. The new planes will operate on the Far East and London routes. According to President/CEO Hussein Dabbas, the new aircraft is part of RJ’s efforts to modernize its fleet. The Airbus A330s were acquired because of the delay in the delivery of the 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which will be delivered by 2013. Originally, the aircraft were to be delivered by 2011.
The RJ Airbus A330 is a wide-bodied aircraft that seats 283 passengers, 24 in Crown class. It holds 15 tons of cargo and flies a range of 13,400 km non stop.
