Ryanair has announced its expansion in Amman, confirming the 5-year heavy maintenance agreement with Joramco. This agreement will further extend the partnership and will see the airline utilising up to 6 heavy maintenance lines at its facility in Amman- Jordan where Joramco is set to conduct 41 checks during this winter season.

This agreement ensures that the airline has continued flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for the upcoming maintenance season. The 110,000sq metre facility will facilitate the heavy maintenance of Ryanair’s aircraft as the airline grows its fleet to 800 aircraft, incl. the recent 300 Boeing MAX-10 order, which will see the airline grow to carry over 300m passengers per year by 2034. These new, fuel efficient, greener technology aircraft offer 21% more seats, burn 20% less fuel and are 50% quieter than our B737-NGs.

Speaking in Jordan, Ryanair’s Chief Operations Officer, Neal McMahon, said,

“We are thrilled to announce our expansion in Amman confirming our 5-year heavy maintenance agreement with Joramco. Joramco have been providing heavy maintenance for our fleet for the past 4 years however, this agreement allows Ryanair to utilise up to 6 heavy maintenance lines and conduct 41 checks this Winter season. This agreement will ensure that Ryanair continues to have flexibility as to where it places its aircraft for the winter maintenance season.”

Commenting on this agreement Joramco’s Chief Executive Officer, Fraser Currie, said,
