Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Royal Jordanian Airlines has suspended its Amman-Rome flights, starting from today Wednesday until further notice.

According to a press release, RJ is also consolidating several flights from Amman to its stations in the Far East, bringing the average of cancellations of weekly Asian operations to up to 50%.
