Amman, Oct. 30 (Petra) -- Royal Jordanian (RJ) Airlines reported a net profit of JD32 million during the January-September period 2025, including nonrecurring capital gains of JD9.6 million, compared with a net loss of JD1.8 million during the same period 2024.
According to a RJ statement issued on Thursday, operating revenues rose by 11 percent to JD629 million, up from JD566 million in the corresponding period.
The number of passengers carried during the 1st three quarters of the year went up by 14 percent to 3.2 million, compared with 2.8 million in the same period of 2024, while the average seat load factor reached 81%.
The RJ Board of Directors, chaired by Said Darwazah, approved the financial results for the first nine months of 2025, which showed "significant" improvement in operations and performance indicators. The airline continued implementing its modernization strategy across fleet, network, and services, achieving exceptional on-time performance according to aviation analytics company Cirium.
In turn, RJ Vice Chairman and CEO, Samer Majali, said the airline achieved positive financial results and continued its recovery through sustained efforts to enhance operational efficiency and control costs. He noted that these results demonstrate the company's flexibility and capacity to adapt while advancing its modernization and expansion plans, including the addition of 19 new aircraft and the retirement of 12 older ones.
"With this, the company has completed modernization of most of its fleet, making it one of the youngest in the region," Majali added. "Royal Jordanian is pressing ahead with plans to expand to 40 aircraft in the coming years and launch direct flights to key destinations to strengthen its operational hub in Amman and establish it as a major regional center."
Majali noted despite challenges posed by increased capacity from subsidized regional and European carriers and delays in aircraft deliveries due to global supply chain disruptions, the airline expects to maintain positive financial performance through year-end.
Majali hoped the coming year will bring "greater" regional stability, which would boost tourism in Jordan and help increase travel activity and visitor numbers to the Kingdom.
