Royal Jordanian (RJ, Amman Queen Alia) has ordered four more B787-9s from Boeing (BOE, Washington National). In its announcement made during the ongoing Dubai Airshow 2023, the majority state-owned carrier also reconfirmed a previous order for two B787-9s, bringing its total backlog for the type to six.
