AMMAN — Chief Commissioner of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC), Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat, affirmed on Saturday that Jordanian airspace remains secure, with air navigation and flight operations at the Kingdom’s airports proceeding normally in full compliance with international safety and security standards.
Clarifying the recent advisory bulletin issued by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Al-Farajat explained that the document constitutes a non-binding advisory recommendation rather than a operational ban. He noted that the technical phrasing utilizes the term "should" rather than "shall," thereby granting European air carriers the discretion to evaluate operational conditions and make flight decisions based on individual internal risk assessments.
Al-Farajat highlighted that the EASA advisory has not impacted non-European airlines, adding that several European carriers, including Wizz Air and TAROM, continue to operate regular scheduled flights to and from Jordan.
Furthermore, he revealed that five European airlines have submitted official applications to operate or resume flights to Jordan next month, including British Airways, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Eurowings Cargo, and Croatian charter operator ETF Airways.
Al-Farajat noted that over 32 regional and international airlines currently operate regular scheduled flights to Jordanian airports. He emphasized that CARC continuously monitors and evaluates airspace security on a 24-hour basis in coordination with local and international civil aviation authorities, reiterating that passenger safety and airspace security remain the commission's primary priorities.
