JTB, Czech travel agency sign charter flight agreement

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Aug. 26 (Petra) -- The Jordan Tourism Board (JTB) on Thursday signed a charter flight agreement with a Czech travel agency to attract tourist groups to the Kingdom from the eastern European nation as early as October.
The agreement entails JTB's support for charter fights operated by the Czech Golden Travel and Tours company, according to a JTB statement.
JTB Director-General Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat said the board had been working to attract charter flights after a government decision exempted passengers departing from the King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba from departure. The decision included charter, regular and low-cast flights.
The Czech's company Managing Partner, Jana Novotna, said her company was keen to resume tourism collaboration with Jordan, which came to a halt after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
