The air show included two tours over Amman, where people from all over the kingdom came to attend the event. The RJ 787 carried the logo of the centennial of the Great Arab Revolt on the bottom of its fuselage; it was executed by RJ’s Engineering and Maintenance Department.

Tens of RJ employees, wearing their uniforms, took part in the parade that was also organized on this occasion. They were preceded by a float of an RJ aircraft and RJ's colors and logo.

Since the beginning of 2016, RJ carried out a broad promotional campaign in celebration of this event. The logo of the Great Arab Revolt was printed on all RJ correspondence, magazines and publications throughout 2016, highlighting the importance of the occasion and the airline’s keenness to be a part of the national celebrations of this and other events.
