Government aid with fuel costs helps keep Royal Jordanian profitable in first half

Royal Jordanian, an Amman-based airline, experienced a significant increase in its net profits during the first half of the year due to exceptional geopolitical developments within the Middle East and substantially higher fuel costs. Fuel expenses rose by 37%, impacting operations alongside airspace closures affecting the carrier’s routes. A key factor contributing to the airline's profitability was government aid specifically allocated to cover these elevated fuel expenditures. Royal Jordanian reported a net profit following these challenging circumstances. This support proved crucial for maintaining the company’s financial stability amidst considerable operational difficulties.
