Aviation & MRO: Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) says regional conflict still disrupts maintenance schedules for its Jordan-linked MRO unit Joramco, though it logged about 720,000 maintenance hours and 142 aircraft checks in H1 2026, with a steadier outlook for the 2026-27 winter line. Air Cargo Deal: DAE also signed a purchase-and-leaseback with Saudia for four Boeing 777F freighters, with deliveries from Oct 2026 to May 2027—aimed at boosting Saudia’s cargo expansion. Digital Transformation in Transport: Royal Jordanian Airlines selected Ramco Systems for a unified aviation software platform covering engineering, CAMO, maintenance, supply chain, safety and MRO/parts sales, supporting paperless operations as the carrier modernises its fleet. Education & Skills: Jordan’s Tawjihi 2026 pass rate hit a record 65.3%, with vocational streams showing strong results in IT (79.2%) and weaker outcomes in agriculture (49.7%). Industry & Investment Climate: The Economic Modernization Vision progress report put manufacturing GDP at JOD 1.6bn in Q1 2026, while Jordan also reported 3,801 investment incentive transactions in H1 2026. Logistics Competitiveness: Jordan ranked third in the Arab world on the Logistics Performance Index, with Aqaba port performance highlighted by fast vessel turnaround and strong export container dwell times. Tourism Boost: UNESCO added the Aqaba Marine Reserve to the World Heritage List, giving Jordan a fresh global hook beyond Petra and Wadi Rum. Climate Pressure: Jordan’s average annual temperature rose about 1.6°C over 100 years, with heatwaves becoming more frequent and intense.
