The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Jordan's Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission, Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat, has announced that air traffic in Jordanian airspace and at Queen Alia International Airport is seeing a gradual improvement and a continuous return of the operating programs of a number of Arab and international airlines, with flight numbers growing compared with the start of the recent events.
Al-Farajat explained that a number of airlines have resumed flights to and from Queen Alia International Airport after a temporary suspension, including the UAE airlines Air Arabia from Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, Emirates and Etihad Airways; flynas from Saudi Arabia; Air Cairo and EgyptAir from Egypt; as well as Ethiopian Airlines, Romania's TAROM and Oman Air.
He added that the list of airlines that have returned to operation also includes the Jordanian airlines Royal Jordanian, Jordan Aviation, Fly Jordan and Arab Wings, according to a post on the Jordan News Agency (Petra) website.
He stated that operational indicators reflect this improvement: aircraft movements, landings and take-offs, at Queen Alia International Airport were recording about 220 flights a day before the events on 27 February 2026, while the current daily average is 130 flights, and 27 March recorded the highest operating density since the start of the events with 170 flights. He noted that current operations represent about 59% of the normal operating level, reflecting gradual progress in restoring air traffic.
Regarding airspace management, Al-Farajat stressed the role played around the clock by the Commission's air traffic management crews in dealing with all aircraft crossing Jordanian airspace or landing at and departing from the Kingdom's airports, in coordination with the competent authorities, ensuring the highest standards of aviation safety and security.
