Jordanian airports recorded 29,096 flights from the start of 2026 to the end of May, while 42,273 aircraft crossed Jordanian airspace in the first five months of the year, according to data announced by Jordan's Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission.
Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission, explained that arriving and departing aircraft at Jordanian airports were split between 14,159 arrivals and 14,937 departures, reflecting operational activity at the airports and in the Kingdom's air navigation system and ground services, according to a post on the commission's Facebook page.
Al-Farajat explained that overflights of Jordanian airspace recorded strong performance, with 42,273 aircraft crossing Jordanian airspace from the start of the year to the end of May, adding that these indicators reflect Jordan's strategic location in regional and international air navigation.
He noted that this performance came alongside new air navigation projects, including the project to update and review navigation procedures in Jordanian airspace, which was inaugurated during the Kingdom's celebrations of its 80th Independence Day.
Al-Farajat affirmed the commission's commitment to applying the highest standards of aviation safety and security and developing air navigation infrastructure, praising the efforts of the staff at the commission and Jordanian airports in ensuring the smooth and safe flow of air traffic in the Kingdom's airspace.
He noted that 25 airlines have resumed scheduled flights to and from the Kingdom's airports, and expected the number to rise in the coming period as a number of European airlines, especially low-cost carriers, are set to return.
