RJ upgrades cargo capacity between Amman and Aqaba

Royal Jordanian Cargo will be able to carry up to 2 tons of air freight on board each Embraer 195 passenger aircraft flying between Amman and Aqaba, starting October 1, 2007. The airline operates two daily flights between Amman and Aqaba, thus providing 4 tons of cargo capacity in each direction in order to serve the shipping community.
