Royal Jordanian

Well, I used to be a private air hostess for the King and Queen of Jordan.

I moved over there in 1999 and I started working for the Royal Jordanian, the National Airline of Jordan.

And 10 months later, when King Hussein died, King Abdullah, his son, took over.

So he wanted like fresh staff to join and, you know, a new aircraft and everything was new.

And that was part of the scam that we started running.

And then we made reservations for Lauren and her mother on an Air Jordanian flight going out to about the same time that we were going to make the hit.

So let's say we made the hit at, I guess it was like 8.30 or something in the morning, 8 o'clock early, and we made reservations for her and Lauren at the airport at 12 o'clock, okay? So then we're like, how are we going to do this? So me and JD looked at each other.

Well, there's only one way to do it.

It just seems like they're small, just like, I don't know, it's nice to hear what's going on.

I saw this really good clip of, like, I think some live ATC, and it was, I think, a Jordanian air traffic controller.

I'm pretty sure but I'm not entirely but like it was a woman and she was managing these planes so well and everyone was just so nice and polite and people were like thank you so much you did a great job like I think there was quite a big bit of traffic people had to be spaced but there was just she did a great job and all the pilots were like even at the time actively going thanks for managing us that was super smooth

it's just like yeah we're all together yeah that was really cool um so

I would never want to do that.

They're all coming home from Boyle, Boyle, Jordanian.

Well,

it's his second call of the day, Ike.

The DFW airport sees over 85 million passengers annually, with over 12 million international passengers in the last year alone.

Major international airlines from Muslim countries that frequent its terminals include Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and Royal Jordanian.

In 2024, Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport installed Islamic ritual washing stations, or wudu stations, along with a connected prayer room.

Abbott stated in the letter that both DFW's proposed stations and Houston's existing stations are, "...government-owned facilities," and consequently deemed their presence illegal.

The International Air Transport Association predicts that many airlines will make just 2% profit this year, half of what it expected them to make before the conflict in Iran started.

So how do airlines respond? Stefan Pichler is former president and CEO of Royal Jordanian.

He's also run Air Berlin, Fiji Airways, and Jazeera Airways, as well as being chairman and CEO of Thomas Cook.

It's quite the CV, and he was around when low-cost airlines were booming and putting pressure on the established airlines to unbundle airfares and cut costs in order to lower prices.
