AMMAN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Jordan reopened its airspace to civilian flights on Sunday morning after multiple temporary closures over the weekend due to the ongoing military escalation between Israel and Iran, the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) said.
CARC Chief Haitham Misto said the closures were tactical and short-term, based on continuous risk assessments of developments in the region, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
The airspace was first closed Friday evening, then reopened Saturday morning, and then closed again Saturday night, before being reopened Sunday.
Misto said the CARC is closely monitoring the situation and will take further action as needed.
Airlines have been notified to resume scheduled operations and redirect previously diverted flights back to Amman.
The CARC reaffirmed that the safety of passengers and civil aviation remain its top priorities. Enditem
