Royal Jordanian cargo volumes hit 21,460 tonnes in H1

Royal Jordanian Airlines recorded a 36 percent increase in air cargo volumes to 21,460 tonnes in the first half of 2026, while reporting a net profit of JD1.4 million for the period. The airline is expanding its cargo infrastructure with a JD30 million investment to modernise and increase capacity at its air cargo terminal at Queen Alia International Airport.

Samer Majali, Vice Chairman and CEO, Royal Jordanian said air cargo remains a key contributor to Jordan's economy by supporting trade, supply chains and exports. He added that the airline's JD30 million investment in the cargo terminal will expand capacity and modernise cargo operations to meet future demand.

The cargo terminal upgrade is expected to support higher freight handling capacity and improve cargo operations, strengthening Jordan’s role in regional trade and supply chain movement. The growth in cargo volumes comes as demand for efficient air freight connections continues to increase.

Royal Jordanian’s revenue rose by 23 percent, or JD86 million, compared with the same period in 2025, supported by higher operating activity and network expansion. The airline also added seven aircraft to its fleet during the period, including Boeing 787-9, Airbus A320neo and Embraer aircraft.
