Turkish Airlines has canceled all flights to & from Amman, Jordan on Oct. 2 and Oct. 3.

 

Travel agencies have informed their clients of the issue.

 

Other airlines have also reduced the number of flights to/from Amman, and passengers are urged to check flight status before heading to the airport.

 

Yesterday, Emirates Airlines announced the cancellation of all flights to and from Iraq (Basra and Baghdad), Iran (Tehran), and Jordan (Amman) on October 2 and 3, 2024. This decision comes after the Iranian ballistic missile on “Israel”.

 

Customers transiting through Dubai with final destinations in Iraq, Iran, and Jordan will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until further notice.

 

Captain Haitham Misto, the Chairman of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC), confirmed early Wednesday that Jordanian airspace remains open to all airlines.

 

He clarified that no notifications had been received from any airline about suspending their flights, except for one flight cancellation due to the temporary airspace closure.

Misto had previously announced the reopening of Jordanian airspace on Tuesday night, after it was temporarily closed for less than two hours as a precaution before an Iranian missile strike on the Israeli Occupation.

 

A military source from the Jordanian Armed Forces also confirmed that the airspace closure was a temporary safety measure, and it has since been reopened for all flights.
