LONDON: Jordanian authorities confirmed on Thursday that its airspace was fully open after Iran fired 10 ballistic missiles at the Azraq military base in the eastern region of the country.
The Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission said that air traffic was operating normally, while the country’s flagship carrier, Royal Jordanian, reported no changes to its flight schedule following the resumption of the US-Iran conflict early on Wednesday.
Deifallah Farajat, the chief commissioner of the CARC, said that a high level of readiness had been announced across all civil aviation facilities and that operations at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman were proceeding smoothly, according to the Jordan News Agency.
The Jordanian military reported intercepting eight of the 10 missiles fired from Iran, with no human casualties or material damage.
Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar following the collapse of its fragile ceasefire with the US, after diplomatic talks between the two countries reached a deadlock over Tehran’s nuclear program and the flow of energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
