As part of its continuous monitoring of developments in the region, the Ministry of Civil Aviation stated that the 5 flights operated by Jordanian airlines that Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport received this morning, after being diverted to the airport due to the temporary closure of some airspace in the region, have departed for their scheduled destinations.
The ministry explained that the flights departed after all necessary operational and precautionary measures were taken and all required support was provided, in accordance with the highest international aviation safety standards. In coordination with the operating airlines, the airport administration ensured that passengers were treated appropriately and in line with international standards in this regard.
Separately, EgyptAir canceled its flights bound today for Erbil, Baghdad, Amman and Beirut until the airspace reopens and air traffic resumes.
In a related context, the Ministry of Civil Aviation affirmed that air traffic is running normally in Egyptian airspace and at all of the country's airports, noting that it is following developments as they happen through its central operations and crisis management rooms, in full coordination with the various relevant agencies and bodies of the Egyptian state, as well as in continuous coordination with the competent international bodies until the airspace of some neighboring countries reopens, while closely monitoring all regional and international developments.
