Jordan's aviation authority urges EU Aviation Safety agency to lift airspace advisory

• CARC Chief Commissioner Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat emphasized that EASA's current advisory does not prohibit flights to Jordanian airports or overflights.
• British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Edelweiss, Condor, Eurowings, AeroLogic, and DHL, have already resumed flights.

Jordan’s Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) has addressed the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to request lifting the Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) issued for Jordanian airspace, coinciding with the agency's scheduled periodic review on Nov. 16.

CARC Chief Commissioner Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat stated that the move forms part of ongoing diplomatic and technical efforts to reinforce international confidence in the safety and stability of Jordan’s airspace.

In its correspondence, the commission highlighted that recommendations in EASA's latest bulletins do not impose any ban on operating flights to Jordanian airports or transiting Jordan, instead leaving operational decisions to airlines based on their internal risk assessments and contingency plans.

Al-Farajat noted that the Amman Flight Information Region (Amman FIR) is already witnessing an accelerated return of major European carriers resuming flights and overflights.

These include British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Edelweiss, Condor, and Eurowings, alongside major global air cargo operators such as AeroLogic and DHL.

The chief commissioner described the resumption of operations by these carriers as a vote of international confidence in Jordan's aviation safety and air navigation standards.

He expressed hope that EASA's upcoming review will result in fully lifting the current advisory, encouraging additional foreign airlines to resume direct flights to Jordanian airports, boosting tourism, supporting the national economy, and strengthening Jordan’s position as a secure regional aviation hub.
