DHL Express launches new flight to Amman

DHL Express launched its new flight to Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Amman, Jordan this week. Commenting on the new dedicated weekly flight, Malcolm Macbeth, VP Aviation for DHL Express Middle East and North Africa, said: “The introduction of this new flight connects our Middle East and North Africa Hub in Bahrain directly with Jordan for the first time, offering greater connectivity, reliability, flexibility and access to our extensive global network, therefore providing increased convenience and opportunity for our customers and their businesses.”

According to sources, the weekly flight will be operated using a dedicated DHL Boeing 757-200 with 30,000 kg load capacity.

CEO of Airport International Group (AIG) Kjeld Binger, said: “Given its convenient location, Jordan has always enjoyed a strategic advantage in terms of cargo traffic as it easily connects major cities in the MENA region together. What this translates to with the addition of DHL Express’ freight flight is a greater choice for businesses looking for speedy, flexible and reliable cargo solutions. We’re also delighted that our partnership with DHL Express will help build on the tremendous growth we have been witnessing in QAIA’s cargo traffic since the beginning of the year.”
