BA offers new flights to Jordan

British Airways has entered into a codeshare with oneworld partner Royal Jordanian to give its passengers direct flights to Amman.

 In the same month that low-cost rival easyJet launched its first service from Gatwick to Amman, BA has announced it will start selling daily flights to the capital of Jordan from Heathrow's Terminal 3.

 Offering both business and economy class, the flights will be operated by Royal Jordanian but can be booked through BA from today for travel from April 19.

 Royal Jordanian has been codesharing on BA's domestic and Scandinavian flights from Heathrow since 2008.
