New Scheduled Flights Out Of Aqaba

According to the AACO website:

http://www.aaco.org/pubnews.asp?id=761&lang=1

Jordan Aviation is to launch six weekly flights from Dubai to Aqaba starting June 18, and will be operating 4 weekly flights from Aqaba to Iraq . The airline is considering flights from Aqaba to Egypt, Syria and Lebanon in the near future.

This article is news to me in several ways; I did not know of Jordan Aviation as an important player in Jordan's airscene and I did not think that an open skies policy was being considered in any part of Jordan given its very conservative / protectionnist laws. Here are a few thoughts and questions:

1-This article mentions an "open skies policy" for Aqaba, does any airline take advantage of this policy other than Jordan Aviation? Has Royal Jordanian considered international flights out of Aqaba?

2-Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport, but it is much much smaller than Amman ( roughly 4 hours drive away), are there any chances for significant passenger loads on these flights?

Regards

Good news for the Red Sea Resort!

Do Royal Jordanian operate flights to London from Aqaba, I think I remember seeing a RJ flight from Aqaba to LGW?

Rob!
