Royal Jordanian and S7 sign code-share agreement

RJ President/CEO Hussein Dabbas said: "This is the first code-share agreement between S7 and a oneworld member since S7 was voted on board the alliance as a member elect, to join in 2010."

"RJ will operate Airbus A320s on this route, whereas the agreement applies on all types of aircraft operated by RJ on this sector," he added. "The code-share agreement between RJ and S7 is a free flow agreement whereby S7 may sell as many seats on each Amman-Domodedovo-Amman flight as RJ, with no limitation to the number of seats sold by S7," he added.

Under the agreement, Royal Jordanian will operate three flights a week - on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Departure from Amman is scheduled at 10:45 and from Moscow Domodedovo at 16:35, local time.

Dabbas said that the two companies are planning to expand this code-share agreement in the near future, from unilateral to bilateral, once S7 gets necessary approvals on Moscow-St. Petersburg sector; RJ will also place its code on this sector. This will offer new opportunities for passengers and boost the tourism, and it will serve the traffic of businessmen and students between Jordan and Russia.

S7, which was selected as a candidate to join the oneworld global alliance in May-2009, is now actively conducting work to integrate its operations and processes with other members of the alliance, in order to obtain full membership next year.
