Jordan's airspace managed through continuous risk assessment — CARC
Misto stressed that identifying risks is a fundamental part of mitigating them, noting the importance of continuously receiving information on activities that could heighten threat levels, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
He explained that such procedures allow for a comprehensive assessment and the use of appropriate tools and mechanisms to neutralise the risk, including the partial or full closure of Jordanian airspace if necessary.
Jordan temporarily closed its airspace multiple times since Friday amid heightened regional tensions following the Israeli attack on Iran.
The closures came as part of a precautionary response to ensure the safety of civil aviation.
The move was part of Jordan's broader crisis management strategy and highlighted the Kingdom's readiness to respond swiftly to developments that could compromise aviation safety.
Misto highlighted CARC's commitment to civil-military coordination, describing it as an international requirement for all countries.
The commission coordinates regionally with its counterparts to exchange critical information that facilitates smooth air traffic flow in the region, the chief commissioner pointed out.
He noted that the current procedures contribute to keeping the skies open, supporting the movement of approximately 16,000 passengers, arriving and departing, on a daily basis.

Iran vows stronger response if attacked again by Israel or US
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned that Tehran would respond to Israel or the US in a 'more decisive manner' if they attacked the country again. The remarks appear to be in response to US President Donald Trump who said on Monday that he would order fresh American attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities if Tehran tried to resume enriching uranium. 'If aggression is repeated, we will not hesitate to react in a more decisive manner and in a way that will be IMPOSSIBLE to cover up,' Mr Araghchi said in a post on X. 'If there are concerns about the possible diversion of our nuclear programme into non-peaceful purposes, the 'military option' proved incapable – but a negotiated solution may work,' he added. Iran has repeatedly denied it has been seeking nuclear weapons and has said its programme is for peaceful purposes only. Mr Trump issued the threat as he held talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his Turnberry golf resort on the west coast of Scotland. He told reporters Iran has been sending out 'nasty signals' and any effort to restart its nuclear programme would be immediately stopped. 'We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we'll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it,' Mr Trump said. Before the war broke out, the US and Iran were divided over uranium enrichment – with Tehran describing it as a 'non-negotiable' right and Washington calling it a 'red line'. Indirect nuclear negotiations between the two foes were derailed when Israel attacked Iran on June 13, starting a 12-day war. The US briefly joined the war, striking nuclear sites but it still remains unclear how devastating the damage was. Iran has acknowledged that its facilities sustained damage but the UN nuclear watchdog is particularly concerned about the whereabouts of Iran's stocks of some 400kg of highly enriched uranium. In an interview with Iran's state TV aired on Sunday, Mr Araghchi said the decision to engage diplomatically towards a ceasefire was 'what prevented the war from spiralling into a wider regional catastrophe'.

Iraqi Kurdistan oil output at around 120,000 bpd, Kurdish officials say
BAGHDAD - Oil production in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region has reached around 120,000 barrels per day (bpd) and is expected to rise to an average of 280,000 bpd by mid-August, two Iraqi Kurdish energy officials said on Sunday. No timeline has yet been agreed with Iraq's oil ministry to resume crude exports from the north of the country, the officials said. A series of drone attacks has hit oilfields in Iraqi Kurdistan in July. Several oilfields halted operations due to significant infrastructure damage, the Kurdistan region's Ministry of Natural Resources said, adding that the attacks also aimed to threaten the safety of civilian workers in the energy sector. No casualties have been reported, but oil output in the region has been slashed. The region's total production was around 285,000 barrels per day (bpd), Iraqi Kurdistan energy officials said.
