CHICAGO (dpa-AFX) - AerCap Holdings N.V.(AER) has delivered a Boeing [BA] 787 Dreamliner on lease to Royal Jordanian, making it only the second airline in the Middle East to operate the 787. The airplane will play a central role in the Amman-based airline's strategic plan for fleet modernization.
Royal Jordanian's CEO Nasser Lozi commented: 'Our decision to invest in this game-changing airplane reflects our firm belief in its unrivaled capabilities and will allow us to offer passengers an unmatched level of comfort, on both short and long haul flights.'
Apart from bringing big-jet ranges to midsize airplanes, the 787 will provide Royal Jordanian with unrivaled fuel efficiency, using 20 percent less fuel than today's similarly sized airplanes.
