Specifically, the airline has selected GTF engines to power up to 20 new Airbus A320neo family aircraft, including A320neo and A321neo models. Additionally, Royal Jordanian will introduce up to nine GTF-powered Embraer E-Jets E2 aircraft, including E190-E2 and E195-E2 models.

Pratt & Whitney will also provide the airline with engine maintenance through a long-term EngineWise Comprehensive service agreement.

Aircraft deliveries are expected to begin in late 2023.
