The Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) on Tuesday denied the validity of circulated information concerning the closure of the Jordanian airspace.
In a statement, CARC Chief Commissioner, Captain Haitham Mesto, confirmed that the Kingdom’s airspace was not closed at all, with non-stop international aviation transit as usual.
“The suspension of take-off and landing took place in Queen Alia International Airport for a period of 40 minutes only; for the purpose of preserving the safety and security of civil aviation,” he explained.
