RJ will initially fly three times weekly in order promote commercial movement and tourism between the two countries.

The carrier’s decision to add Hong Kong to its route map follows the airline's membership in the oneworld airline alliance which joins among its members Cathay Pacific and Dragonair, the Cathay Pacific group member. Dragonair will join oneworld on November 1 this year. With the addition of Hong Kong, the airline will fly to 55 destinations worldwide.

The carrier expects increased demand on travel between Jordan and China, where RJ operates daily flights in the winter and five direct weekly flights, in the summer after the launch of the new Hong Kong service.

Newly refurbished Airbus A310s will service the route.
