Ryanair is to launch flights to Jordan later this year as part of plans to expand in the Middle East.
There will be 14 routes in total to Amman and Aqaba airports, but none of them from the UK.
Services will start with a route from Amman to Paphos in March, but the rest – 10 Amman routes and four Aqaba routes – will launch in October as part of Ryanair’s winter schedule.
The Amman routes will be twice weekly to Bologna, Brussels Zaventem, Bucharest, Budapest, Krakow, Paphos, Prague, Vilnius and Warsaw Modlin, and three times a week to Milan Bergamo.
Aqaba routes will be twice weekly to Athens, Cologne, Rome Ciampino and Sofia.
A spokesman for Ryanair said there were no current plans to launch Jordan flights from the UK.
“The UK Government levies £69 APD on all passengers to Jordan, which prevents low fare connections between the UK and the Middle East,” he said.
