Jordan Daily – Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) welcomed on Monday the inaugural flight of Eurowings – the value airline of Lufthansa Group – launching a direct route between Stuttgart, Germany and Amman, Jordan.
This new route, a first for both the airline and the destination, will operate once weekly, with frequency increasing to twice weekly starting December 2025, Airport International Group (AIG) said in a statement received by Jordan Daily.
The addition of Eurowings to QAIA’s airline network reflects Airport International Group’s ongoing efforts to expand Jordan’s global reach and offer passengers a broader range of travel options, strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a growing center for tourism, business and cultural exchange in the region.
The inaugural flight was greeted with the customary water arch salute, attended by representatives from Eurowings, Airport International Group, Jordan Tourism Board, and Menzies Aviation (Eurowings ground handler).
“We are delighted to welcome Eurowings to QAIA, marking yet another milestone in our pursuit of expanding Jordan’s connectivity with key European markets. As the value airline of Lufthansa Group, Eurowings offers passengers affordable and flexible options to explore both Jordan and Germany, supporting leisure and business travel between the two nations. We look forward to building a strong and lasting relationship with Eurowings as we continue shaping a welcoming travel experience that feels like home at Jordan’s prime gateway to the world,” commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Deviller.
“We are very happy about the successful addition of Amman to the Eurowings route network. This expands our growing range of attractive medium-haul destinations and brings the fascinating travel destination of Jordan a good deal closer, particularly for southern Germany. As a culturally diverse metropolis with over 9,000 years of history, Amman captivates visitors with an exciting mix of ancient monuments and modern city life – coupled with impressive hospitality. We are convinced that the country will gain many new fans thanks to its easy accessibility and the close and trusting cooperation with our partners at QAIA,” stated Eurowings Head of Airport and Network Relations, Reinald Frankewitz.
