Amman welcomes TUS Airways inaugural flight from Larnaca

TUS Airways has operated its first flight to Amman. The Airbus A320 aircraft, flight U8 724, was greeted with a traditional water cannon salute along with warm hospitality at Queen Alia International Airport.

Flights between Larnaca and Amman will be served twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays, with fares starting from as little as €76 one way, according to an announcement from TUS Airways.

"As the gateway and capital of Jordan, Amman is a fantastic base to explore the many riches of this wonderful country. With its many must-see sites, the city offers visitors a wide variety of attractions from the ancient ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre, to inspiring museums & art galleries and of course enjoying the delights of the local oriental cuisine. Visitors can feel safe strolling through this city with its unique blend of old and new, east & west. Beyond the cityscape, Jordan offers visitors so much more; with visits to the historic Dead Sea, the stunning Red Sea resort of Aqaba and the historic desert site of Petra on the cards. For centuries Jordan has warmly welcomed visitors with its many World Heritage Sites, breathtaking desert landscapes and truly hospitable people, making it the perfect place to enjoy true Middle Eastern experience," TUIS Airways notes.

Philip Saunders, CCO of TUS Airways commented, “We are excited about the launch of services between Amman and Larnaca, which adds an important destination to our network. We are confident this new service will further strengthen the tourism and trade ties between Jordan and Cyprus, whilst providing our customers with a great value-for-money option to travel between both countries. As the proud bearer of the Cypriot flag, we aim to offer a seamless travel experience for both Cypriots and international visitors by offering strong regional connectivity throughout the East Mediterranean. We thank Queen Alia Airport for their warm welcome.”

“This step is a testament to our dedication to expanding QAIA's airline and destination networks and providing our passengers with diverse travel opportunities. We are excited to offer a new option for tourists from Cyprus and Europe to explore Jordan's rich historical and natural sites.
