CARC Chief: Jordan airspace safe, airports business as usual

Amman, Oct 3 (Petra) – Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC)
Chief Commissioner Daifallah Al-Farajat said on Saturday that
Jordanian airspace is completely safe with air traffic and flights
arriving at and departing airports normally.

Commenting on a recent advisory by the European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA), Al-Farajat said the advisory bulletin is a
recommendation that allows European carriers the discretion to assess
the situation and make operational decisions based on their own
internal risk assessments, whereas non-European airlines have
remained entirely unaffected.

Continued air traffic stability in Jordan reflects the international
aviation sector’s confidence in the Kingdom’s airspace and airports,
he said, adding that European airlines, such as Wizz Air and TAROM,
continued to operate flights regularly and without interruption.

Furthermore, other European carriers have submitted official requests
to resume and operate flights next month, including British Airways,
Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Eurowings Cargo, as well as the
Croatian ETF Airways, which plans to operate charter tourist flights,
he said.

Meanwhile, the number of airlines currently operating scheduled
flights to Jordanian airports has surpassed 32 regional and
international carriers, said Captain Al-Farajat.

He emphasized that CARCA monitors and assesses the aviation and
security situation around the clock, in full coordination with
relevant local and international entities.

He reiterated that passenger safety and securing Jordanian airspace
are top national priorities, and reassured travelers and airlines of
the stability and sustainability of the Kingdom’s civil aviation
system.
