AMMAN — The Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) is continuing to assess risks to civil aviation and monitor regional developments after Jordan reopened its airspace on Saturday, according to CARC Chairman Haitham Misto.

In press remarks, Misto said that the commission will decide on the appropriate decisions regarding air traffic, including whether to keep the airspace open or to close it again, based on evolving circumstances and their potential impact on flight safety.

“The safety of passengers remains our top priority, and all decisions will reflect the commission’s precautionary measures,” he stressed.

Misto added that airlines will be kept informed of any updates so they can provide passengers and stakeholders with the latest information on flight operations.

Jordan reopened its airspace at 7:30am on Saturday, following a temporary closure on Friday that suspended all inbound, outbound, and transit flights as a precaution amid escalating regional tensions.

Misto noted that the closure was in accordance with international aviation safety agreements, including the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, which governs air navigation safety standards.
