Royal Jordanian (RJ) has received two new Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

The planes will serve the airline's long and medium-haul routes to the UK, Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

RJ president and CEO Hussein Dabbas said that the A330s were acquired to bridge the gap in delivery of the 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners that will start joining the fleet in 2013.

The 787s were originally due to join the airline at the beginning of 2011.

The Airbus A330, a wide-bodied aircraft, can seat 283 passengers, hold 15t of cargo and fly 13,400nm.
