The Jordan Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission concluded its participation in the eighth meeting of the heads and directors general of civil aviation in the Middle East region, which was held in the Qatari capital, Doha, from October 26 to 28.
The meeting, which concluded its proceedings today with broad participation from heads and representatives of civil aviation authorities in the region, witnessed the discussion of a number of vital and strategic files related to the civil aviation sector, primarily in the areas of aviation safety, navigation, and aviation security, in addition to issues of air transport, environment, and sustainability. The attendees discussed ways to enhance joint work and expand the horizons of cooperation and integration between the countries of the region, in a way that contributes to achieving further progress and prosperity for the air transport industry, and in line with international standards issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and recommended practices.
On the sidelines of the conference, the participating Jordanian delegation, headed by Captain Daifallah Al-Farajat, held bilateral talks with the delegation of the sisterly Arab Republic of Egypt; the discussions focused on studying the increase in seat capacity and air traffic between Amman and Cairo, especially in light of the increasing demand witnessed by this vital route, and coinciding with the start of operations at Amman city airport, which supports passenger movement and commercial and tourism activity between the two countries.
Within the framework of strengthening the air transport network and expanding regional connectivity, a memorandum of understanding was signed on the sidelines of the meeting between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the sisterly State of Libya, which stipulates the addition of the (Amman – Misrata) sector to the table of air routes agreed upon between the two sides. Under the memorandum, the right is granted to national carriers in both countries to operate seven flights per week for each side, which opens new horizons to facilitate passenger movement and support joint economic and commercial exchange.
It is noteworthy that the participation of the Jordan Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission comes within the framework of the Kingdom's continuous keenness to enhance its presence in regional and international forums, and to develop frameworks for cooperation and bilateral partnerships in a way that serves national interests and supports the civil aviation system in the region.
