In the same context, an extraordinary general assembly meeting was held for several important reasons that align with the company's directions, aiming to enhance its investment base and expand and diversify its income sources.

In his opening speech, Engineer Samer Al-Majali emphasized that the year 2025 marked an exceptional milestone in the company’s journey, as Royal Jordanian achieved unprecedented financial and operational results that confirm the success of the transformation strategy adopted since 2021.

He also appreciated the Hashemite patronage of Royal Jordanian and visits by His Majesty the King to the company and the laying of the cornerstone of the air cargo building to affirm Jordan's logistical role, and the visit of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to the main company building, in addition to the ongoing support provided by the Jordanian government which had a significant impact enabling it from implementing its strategic plans, overcoming various challenges, enhancing its operational efficiency, and improving its institutional performance.

Al-Majali explained that the achievements that Royal Jordanian was able to accomplish during 2025 reflect the robustness of the operational model and the effectiveness of cost control policies and maximizing revenues, where the company witnessed a fundamental transformation in its financial results, and achieving a net profit of 21.5 million dinars, including non-recurring capital profits, compared to a net loss of 3.5 million dinars in 2024, driven by a significant jump in operating revenues which grew by 11% to reach 829 million dinars.

The company also achieved record operational indicators including transporting 4.4 million passengers, with a growth rate of 18%, and recording a load factor for the aircraft which reached 81%, the highest in the company's history, and high levels of accuracy in flight schedules, placing Royal Jordanian among the top five airlines worldwide in terms of schedule adherence reflecting the efficiency of managing the air network and improved operating returns.

In the context of fleet modernization, Al-Majali indicated that 2025 witnessed a qualitative achievement represented in the introduction of 19 modern aircraft of A320neo and Embraer E2 models to serve short and medium-range routes. The company commenced updating Boeing 787-8 cabins and introducing internet services, thus updating about 80% of the fleet, making it among the latest in the region. The fleet will be fully updated by the end of 2026, which will see the joining of the first two Boeing 787-9 aircraft to serve long-haul destinations, along with three Airbus A321neo aircraft for medium-range flights, as part of a vision aiming to increase the fleet size to about 40 aircraft in the coming years.

Furthermore, Royal Jordanian continued its qualitative expansion, and launched vital destinations including; Washington, Mumbai, Damascus, Aleppo, Benghazi, Casablanca, and Najaf, while key new destinations for 2026 include Hamburg, Munich, Dallas, and Vienna.

In the investment field and rebuilding its investment system, Royal Jordanian increased its stake in the Jordanian Aircraft Catering Company to 51%, and continued to fully own JATS for simulative training, along with owning 90% of Jordanian Airports Company and reinstating the operation of Amman City Airport, enhancing the integration of the air transport system and support services.

Regarding the performance of the first quarter of 2026, Al-Majali explained that the results will be affected by a number of exceptional circumstances in the region, most notably the regional escalation and consequences of the war, which resulted in disruptions in civil aviation movement, rerouting some flights and changing their pathways to maintain the highest safety standards, in addition to the sharp rise in global fuel prices, which reflected on operating costs.

Al-Majali affirmed that Royal Jordanian distinguished itself by playing a responsible national role during the war period, through ensuring the continuity of civil aviation operations, dealing with operational challenges with flexibility and efficiency, contributing to maintaining travel movement, transporting passengers, and supporting sectors linked to tourism, trade, and humanitarian services.
