Royal Jordanian to Launch Flights to Lagos and Nairobi

Royal Jordanian is to launch flights to Lagos and Nairobi in December.

The airline will operate direct regular flights to Lagos, the economic and financial capital of Nigeria, starting 3 December 2011. It will start operating to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, on the 16th of the same month.

Royal Jordanian will operate two weekly flights with its wide-bodied, 280-seat Airbus A330s to Lagos. The flight will depart from Amman on Wednesdays at 12:40 after midnight, and reach Lagos at 06:30; it comes back from Lagos the same day, leaving at 8am and reaching Amman at 15:15.

A second weekly flight to Lagos will be on Saturdays. It will leave Amman at 14:45, reach Lagos at 20:35 and come back from Lagos at 10pm the same day, reaching Amman the next morning at 05:15.

The narrower-bodied A319 will operate four weekly flights between Amman and Nairobi. The flights will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, departing from Amman at 20:30 and reaching Nairobi at 02:55 the next day. The flight back from Nairobi is on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 03:50, reaching Amman at 8am the same day.

RJ President/CEO Hussein Dabbas said the company?s effort to inaugurate these two routes comes in line with the expansion strategy RJ in undertaking in an attempt to find new tourism and travel markets, given the decline in tourism movement from the traditional markets of Europe and North America.

Connecting Amman with these African cities is expected to attract large numbers of tourists to the Kingdom, particularly Muslim pilgrims who wish to continue their flights to Mecca and Medina, in Saudi Arabia, and Christians, who come to Jordan to visit the Baptism site and other Christian holy sites. Moreover, transit travelers can use Queen Alia International Airport as a hub for their travel to the east.

The airline is conducting studies to see whether it is feasible to inaugurate routes to Accra, capital of Ghana, and Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

IDeaS Pricing Solutions to Help Boost Revenue @ Royal Plaza on Scotts

The Royal Plaza on Scotts in Singapore has adopted pricing solutions from IDeaS in an attempt to enhance occupancy and maximise revenue.

Royal Plaza on Scotts is located in the heart of Singapore, just steps away from Orchard Road.

In working with IDeaS, Royal Plaza on Scotts has turned to the IDeaS Revenue Management System (RMS) in order to continually assess the hotel?s performance, accurately forecast occupancy and business demand, and determine the correct pricing for hotel rooms.

Patrick Fiat, General Manager of Royal Plaza on Scotts, said, ?Royal Plaza on Scotts is an extremely popular hotel in Singapore always looking to implement the most advanced operational technologies and strategies for the benefit of our guests. Singapore is a highly competitive operating environment for any hotel, but through our partnership with IDeaS we are able to better identify and target the right guest ? whether they be a business traveller, group or tourist ? at the right time.?

Importantly, the IDeaS RMS? Best Available Rate (BAR) functionality will allow Royal Plaza on Scotts to accurately quote the optimal rate for their hotel rooms to potential guests. These rates are calculated to provide the highest probability of selling based on the arrival date and length of stay ? ensuring occupancy and revenue is maximised.

?The hotel sector across Asia continues to grow on the back of rising domestic and international tourism and increased business travel. With this growth comes increased competition, therefore it is vital that savvy hotel operators like the Royal Plaza on Scotts have the most advanced operating strategies and technologies on hand to ensure their ongoing profitability,? said Grahame Tate, Managing Director of IDeaS APAC. ?Through working with IDeaS, Royal Plaza on Scotts is better able to make strategic decisions with a clear view of their competitor?s positions and determine correct pricing for their property?s rooms and group bookings.?
