Civil aviation authority: Round-the-clock risk assessments for Jordan's airspace
Jordan's Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) is conducting continuous security assessments to determine the status of the Kingdom's airspace amid heightened regional tensions, according to CARC Chief Captain Haitham Misto. In an interview with Roya, Misto confirmed that risk evaluations are being carried out around the clock to inform decisions on whether to close or reopen Jordanian airspace. These decisions are based solely on evolving regional security threats. - Round-the-clock risk assessments - Misto detailed that the commission performs evaluations every four hours during the day and every six hours at night. He emphasized the importance of timely communication with airlines, saying they are notified at least two hours in advance of any potential reopening to allow time to reschedule flights and update passengers. - Uncertainty amid escalating threats - Responding to reports of a potential extension of the current airspace closure until 10 PM, Misto clarified, 'That timing is not definitive. The situation is under constant observation. If the security climate improves, the airspace could reopen earlier. If tensions persist, the closure will likely be extended.' He added, 'At this stage, we have no indications that the threat level is decreasing,' reinforcing the seriousness of the current regional instability.
