Jordan announced today, Sunday, the resumption of flights with about twenty "green" countries, starting from the fifth of next August, after stopping for nearly five months due to the pandemic of the emerging Corona virus.
The Jordanian government last Tuesday identified a list of "green countries", that is, countries with a low-risk epidemic situation and travel to and from them will be permitted. The list includes 22 countries.
The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority, Haitham Misto, said that starting from the fifth of August, flights will be available from and to Jordan to specific countries.
Misto added to the "Kingdom Channel" television that "the Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority has informed airline operators in the world that Jordanian airports are ready to receive international flights from some of the selected countries based on a methodology prepared by the Ministry of Health previously dependent on the epidemiological situation" for these countries.
The list of green countries includes Austria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand.
Mesto explained that "those coming from green countries will not need a 14-day quarantine, but there are procedures, including checking the BCR before departure," noting that "the list of green countries may change every two weeks."
For his part, Jordanian Transport Minister Khaled Saif said that "the Foreign Ministry is discussing with the countries that are on the green list to conduct flights with them," explaining that "Jordan is awaiting results to confirm the conduct of flights."
He continued, "The aircraft will operate when the airports are reopened with their full capacity."
He said that "the next traveler to Jordan will pledge that he has spent 14 days in the green country, and there is a fine of 10,000 dinars (more than 14 thousand dollars) as it turns out that the information is inaccurate."
He added that "the heat of passengers will be measured through five thermal scanners (...) while there will be 11 stations at the airport to take BCR samples, and 22 counters designated for laboratory registration and receipt of the results of the tests."
