Jordan airports to reopen in August
Published 22 Jul,2020 via The Jordan Times AMMAN — Procedures for the gradual reopening of the airport were announced on Tuesday during a meeting at the Prime Ministry, with the first batch of flights arriving in the first-half of August, according to Minister of State and Media Affairs Amjad Adaileh.
Jordan on March 17 closed its airports for regular travel as part of coronavirus protection measures, which Adaileh said was an “effective decision” as proven by the “calm health situation and low case numbers” in the Kingdom.
Adaileh noted that “even at the beginning of the pandemic, bringing back our sons and daughters was among the government's priorities, but given that Jordan is at the lower-mild stage, it is time to gradually bring back commercial flights”.
