West meets East as Gatwick links up with Jordan

- Gatwick welcomes easyJet’s new route to the Jordanian capital, Amman
- Offers the only low-cost gateway from London to the Middle East
Gatwick yesterday (Sunday 27 March) welcomed the launch of a brand new route to the Jordanian capital, Amman, by its biggest customer – easyJet. The first flight to Amman took off yesterday at 11:00 and easyJet will operate the service three times per week from Gatwick’s North Terminal.
This is exciting news for Gatwick’s adventurers who have, for the first time ever, the option to fly low cost from London to one of the oldest cities in the world and explore ancient cities, desert castles, unspoiled natural locations and visit one of the Middle Eastern wonders – Petra – which made its Hollywood debut in ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.’
Commenting on easyJet’s new route to Amman, Guy Stephenson, Gatwick Airport’s Commercial Director, said: “easyJet’s brand new route to Amman is not only exciting for Gatwick as we strengthen our links to the Middle East, but also for passengers who now, in these price sensitive times, have a truly low-cost option to fly to this wonderful ancient city from London.
“easyJet is a valued airline and we are pleased to be able to support its growth plans and open up more destinations for its passengers.”
Other easyJet routes to launch from Gatwick between now and June include Izmir (Turkey), Verona and Bologna (Italy), Seville (Spain), and Aberdeen (Scotland).
