Jordan has temporarily closed its airspace to all incoming, outgoing, and transiting flights in response to rising security concerns across the region, the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) announced.
The suspension, described as a precautionary measure, is aimed at ensuring the safety of civil aviation operations amid growing instability in the Middle East.
The move aligns with international civil aviation safety protocols, including the Chicago Convention, which governs air navigation standards worldwide.
Haitham Misto, Chairman of the CARC Board of Commissioners, confirmed that the closure was made in strict adherence to global aviation agreements and is intended to mitigate potential risks associated with the current escalation in regional tensions.
The decision underscores Jordan’s commitment to maintaining aviation safety and protecting passengers and air traffic amid volatile geopolitical developments.
The closure is expected to be temporary, with authorities closely monitoring the situation to determine when it is safe to resume normal air traffic operations.
