Jordan Aviation becomes a 'national carrier' under new AOC

The airline was awarded an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC ) by the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC ) to start launching its international regular flights, thus becoming the first Jordanian privately owned airline to obtain such a license on the basis of the newly issued Jordanian Regulations which are now based on the EASA system in compliance with the European Standards.

The new AOC gives Jordan Aviation the privilege to operate into 54 Arab and International destinations.

CARC Chief Commissioner & CEO Capt. Moh’d Quraan delivered the licenses to Jordan Aviation Chairman and CEO , Capt. Moh’d Al-Khashman in a small celebration at CARC HQ.

Capt. Quraan said after granting the certificate that Jordan Aviation is one of the very successful airlines stressing on its role for strengthening the Jordanian Airtransport Industry sector. He expressed his support and that of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission to the company in performing its operation, stressing that CARC is working with transparency and clear references with the objective of advancing the Jordanian Airtransport Industry to reach to its counterpart at an International level.

Capt. Quraan reiterated that Jordan is entering into a new era in the Airtransport Industry after the agreement signed with the European Union to cope up with the international developments in this sector. He said that this requires doubling the efforts from the part of the local airline companies, stressing that reaching very high levels in the airtransport industry is difficult in itself let alone to keep maintaining those high standards and those high performance indicators while the world keeps on changing and evolving at high rates.

Jordan Aviation was founded in 1998 and began operating in the year 2000. Today Jordan Aviation owns 17 modern aircraft, of different sizes and capacities. It employs more than one thousand employees in various departments and disciplines.
