RJ takes vital medical supplies to Benghazi as it resumes services

Royal Jordanian has recommenced services to Benghazi and used its first return flight to carry vital medical aid to the Libyan city.

The airline resumed its regular services to Benghazi, having suspended them after the turmoil that erupted in Libya last February.

RJ president andCEO Hussein Dabbas said that the shipment on the first flight included large quantities of pharmaceuticals donated by the Hashemite Charity Commission and Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC. to support the Libyan citizens.

RJ also volunteered to transport a number of wounded Libyans who received medical treatment at the Jordanian hospitals recently, in coordination with the Hashemite Charity Commission.

Dabbas said reconnecting Amman and Benghazi will contribute to Libyan, Arab and global efforts to re-build Libya. He expressed the airline’s readiness to fly to this Libyan city almost daily in response to strong demand on travel between Jordan and Libya. He said RJ will resume its operations to the Libyan capital, Tripoli, before the end of this month once Tripoli International Airport ensures preparedness to receive flights and provide passengers and aircraft with air and ground services.
