Amman, Oct. 13 (Petra) - Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) Board of Commissioners Chair Daifallah Farajat and UAE Ambassador to Jordan Sultan Shamsi discussed on Tuesday expanding air transport cooperation.

Farajat and Shamsi lauded the high volume of air traffic between Jordan and the UAE, accounting for roughly 14 percent of total operations at Queen Alia International Airport, making the Emirates the second-largest destination market for airlines operating to and from Jordan.

The talks pointed to a strategic partnership anchored by a 1972 bilateral air services agreement. Updated continuously over the decades, the pact streamlined passenger and cargo transit while driving growth in trade and tourism.

Farajat welcomed Shamsi to his new diplomatic post, wishing him success in boosting Jordanian and Emirati ties.

Both sides pledged commitment to coordination and exchanging commemorative plaques to celebrate their diplomatic relations.
