RJ, Tunisair sign code share agreement

Royal Jordanian (RJ) and Tunisair concluded a free sale code share agreement, under which Tunisair will market RJ flights and thus put its carrier code on flights running between Amman and Tunis (Tunisair does not operate flights between the two Arab capitals).

This agreement with Tunisair will enhance cooperation between the two flag carriers and improve passenger traffic by providing Tunisair customers with convenient options to fly to Amman. They can also plan their trips to reach further destinations on RJ’s global route network. 

In remarks, RJ President/CEO Stefan Pichler said “We are glad to offer our services to Tunisair passengers, who will experience compelling services on board our aircraft.

This partnership is the first step on the way to enhancing relations with Tunisair, and will bring great benefit to both airlines, from a commercial perspective.” The agreement will give Tunisair customers the opportunity to visit Jordan and learn about its historical and tourist attractions, he added.

This latest agreement raises the number of code share agreements concluded by RJ to 17. Half of them were concluded with oneworld carriers and the other half with Arab and international airlines.

These include American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, Siberia Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Sri Lankan Airlines, Turkish Airways, Oman Air, Middle East Airlines, Tarom, Gulf Air, Syrian Air, Alitalia, Meridiana Fly Airlines, Qatar Airways and Tunisair.
