Amman, June 2 (Petra) –Chairman of Civil Aviation Regulatory
Commission (CARC) Captain Deifallah Farajat announced air traffic
statistics in the Kingdom from the beginning of the year through end
of May.

Farajat said Jordanian airspace and airports witnessed
“significant” operational activity, reflecting the “high efficiency”
of Jordan’s air navigation system and ground services.

In a press statement issued Tuesday, Farajat said Jordanian airports
saw 29,096 aircraft movements (arrivals and departures), divided for
14,159 inbound and 14,937 outbound flights, respectively.

He noted air traffic has witnessed “strong” and stable growth, as
42,273 aircraft crossed Jordanian airspace during the first five
months of this year.

This figure underscores the Kingdom’s strategic position as a “vital
and secure” gateway for regional and international air navigation,
due to completion of new air navigation projects, he pointed out.

In this context, he said the most recent enterprise aimed to upgrade
and review all air navigation procedures in Jordanian airspace, which
was inaugurated during the Kingdom’s 80th Independence Day
celebrations.

He noted the commission’s ongoing commitment to implementing the
highest standards of air safety and security and developing air
navigation infrastructure.

Additionally, he commended the collaborative efforts of all CARC’s
personnel and Jordanian airports to ensure the smooth and safe flow
of air traffic in the Kingdom’s airspace.

He stated 25 airlines have resumed regular flights to and from the
Kingdom’s airports, adding that this number is expected to increase
with the imminent return of several European airlines, particularly
low-cost carriers.
