Eurowings launches first flights from Stuttgart to Amman - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Eurowings has added the Jordanian capital Amman to its growing route network. The inaugural flight EW2994, a fully booked Airbus A320, departed Stuttgart Airport at 7:49 a.m. and landed at Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) at 1:30 p.m. local time, where it was welcomed with a traditional water salute by the airport fire brigade — marking Eurowings’ first-ever landing in Jordan.

Passengers from southern Germany can now travel non-stop to Amman twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, with both outbound and return flights scheduled at convenient daytime hours.

“Bringing southern Germany closer to Jordan”

“We are delighted about the successful launch of our new connection to Amman,” said Reinald Frankewitz, Head of Airport & Network Relations at Eurowings. “This expansion strengthens our medium-haul portfolio and brings the fascinating travel destination of Jordan much closer to travelers from southern Germany. Amman, with more than 9,000 years of history, combines ancient culture with a vibrant modern lifestyle and legendary hospitality. We are confident that Jordan will attract many new fans thanks to its easy accessibility and the excellent cooperation with our partners in Amman.”

Jordan – a land of timeless diversity

From the lively capital Amman to the ancient rock city of Petra, the dramatic desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, and the mineral-rich shores of the Dead Sea – Jordan offers travelers an extraordinary variety of natural and cultural treasures. Its unique blend of heritage and adventure continues to inspire visitors from all over the world.

Strengthening tourism ties between Germany and Jordan

Commenting on the new route, Dr. Emad Hijazeen, Jordan’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, said:

“Enhancing air connectivity remains at the heart of our tourism growth strategy. Germany is the largest outbound tourism market in the European Union, and the launch of this new Eurowings route from Stuttgart to Amman strengthens the bridges between our two countries. This connection will not only make Jordan more accessible to travelers from southern Germany but also open new opportunities for cultural exchange, business travel and tourism development.”

Dr. Abed Al-Razzaq Arabiyat, Managing Director of the Jordan Tourism Board, added:

“Germany continues to be one of Jordan’s most important feeder markets, contributing significantly to our rising visitor numbers. The launch of this new Eurowings route further enhances our presence in the German market and supports our efforts to make Jordan more accessible to travelers across Europe. This step reflects our strong partnership with Eurowings and reaffirms Jordan’s position as a key destination for cultural discovery, adventure and authentic experiences.”

With this new connection, Eurowings strengthens Stuttgart Airport’s role as a key gateway for travelers seeking unique destinations – and brings the warmth and wonder of Jordan just a few hours’ flight away.
