In a strategic move to bolster its presence in the Levant, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the capital’s first low-cost carrier, has announced the launch of a new nonstop service between Abu Dhabi and Amman Civil Airport (ADJ). Starting May 1, 2026, the airline will operate three weekly flights, bringing its total frequency to the Jordanian capital to 10 weekly flights.
This new route complements the airline’s existing daily service to Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), providing travelers with unprecedented flexibility and easier access to the heart of Amman.
Amman Civil Airport: A Centralized Gateway
By adding Amman Civil Airport to its network, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is tapping into a localized market that prioritizes proximity to the city center.

Service Details:
- Launch Date: May 1, 2026.
- Frequency: Three times a week.
- Hubs: Zayed International Airport (AUH) to Amman Civil Airport (ADJ).
- Total Capacity: 10 weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Amman.
The 3X-weekly frequency is specifically timed to cater to weekend travelers and business professionals, offering a reliable and affordable alternative for regional transits.
Strengthening UAE-Jordan Partnerships
The expansion underscores the deep economic and cultural ties between the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. As the demand for reliable air travel grows, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is positioning itself as a primary facilitator of movement between the two nations.
Key Benefits for Travelers:
- Convenience: Amman Civil Airport’s location provides quicker access to the city’s commercial, cultural, and historical districts.
- Affordability: As a low-cost carrier, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi continues to drive competition on the route, ensuring lower fares for family visits and leisure tourism.
- Tourism Boost: The increased capacity will support Jordan’s tourism sector, making it easier for UAE residents to explore world-famous sites like Petra, the Dead Sea, and the ancient ruins of Jerash.
A Growing Global Network
The launch of the Amman Civil Airport route is part of Air Arabia Abu Dhabi’s broader 2026 expansion strategy, which focuses on identifying underserved regional hubs and providing direct, high-value connectivity.
By operating from the newly inaugurated Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, the carrier is leveraging state-of-the-art facilities to ensure a seamless experience for its passengers, further solidifying the UAE’s position as a global aviation leader.
