In 2009, the airline became the second scheduled air carrier and is still carrying out its mission, while continuously modernizing and upgrading its services, renewing its fleet, and expanding its route network and operations. Royal Falcon's headquarters are located in the heart of the capital Amman and its flights are operated from Amman Civil Airport – Marka (ADJ).
