AMMAN — Aviation companies in Jordan incurred losses exceeding JD200 million in 2020, Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) Chief Commissioner Captain Haitham Misto said on Wednesday.

Misto, citing preliminary data received by the commission from aviation companies and operators of the Kingdom’s airports, said that these losses excluded those of operators that support the aviation sector, such as maintenance companies, training institutes and ground handling, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.  

Meanwhile, CARC official data showed a sharp decrease in the passenger movement through Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) by 93 per cent between March 17 and December 31, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
