Royal Jordanian opens direct Amman–Tashkent route

Royal Jordanian has launched direct scheduled flights between Queen Alia International Airport in Amman and Tashkent International Airport, becoming the first Jordanian carrier to open a regular route into Central Asia. Service began at the end of June 2026, according to aviation route tracker AeroRoutes.

Flights operate twice weekly — on Wednesdays and Sundays — aboard modern Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, covering the distance in approximately four and a half hours. The new link gives travelers from Jordan, the wider Middle East, and connecting passengers a convenient one-stop path into Uzbekistan’s Silk Road cities, while Uzbek travelers gain easy access to Jordan’s own world-class sites — Petra, the Dead Sea, and Wadi Rum.

For visitors planning a trip to Tashkent, this route is one more sign that Uzbekistan’s international connectivity is growing fast: more direct options mean less time in transit and more time wandering through ancient bazaars and sun-lit minarets.
