Jordan, Egypt sign initial aviation cooperation deal

AMMAN — The Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) and the Egyptian civil aviation authority have signed an initial agreement to organise international air services between the two countries, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported Wednesday.

The agreement was signed during a two-day visit by a delegation from the Egyptian authority to CARC, which included discussions over international airfreight, and the operational status of the airspace between Jordan and Egypt.

The initial agreement is the first step for both countries to proceed with the constitutional procedures necessary to sign the final agreement to replace a previous one signed in 1986, Petra added.
