Jordan: Officials temporarily close country's airspace from 23:00 April 13
Officials in Jordan temporarily close airspace from 23:00 April 13 amid escalating security risks; significant flight disruptions likely.
Officials in Jordan have temporarily closed the country's airspace from 23:00 April 13 due to escalating security risks in the region. The move comes amid mounting tensions between Israel and Iran and after Jordan's Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission announced that planes in the area had activated alternative navigation systems after interference had affected GPS technology.
Significant flight disruptions, including delays and cancellations, are likely to affect flights scheduled to travel via Jordanian airports and airspace over the short term.
Confirm flight reservations if scheduled to travel via a Jordanian airport or Jordanian airspace. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider making alternative arrangements for time-sensitive travel if necessary.
