AMMAN, March 4 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Monday decided to allow Jordanian airlines to resume using Syrian airspace for their flights, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

Jordan Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission said it allowed the airlines to resume using the Syrian airspace after they look into the situation.

Jordanian airlines flights using Syrian space were suspended in 2012.

The commission said airlines wishing to use Syrian airspace need to provide a study of assessments of risks and which routes and altitudes they seek to use, according to Petra.

The commission added that it was still assessing the conditions of Syrian airports, especially Damascus airport.

Royal Jordanian officials said they were aware of the commission's decision, but the airline did not take a decision in this regard.

The Royal Jordanian said on its social account page that it will assess the situation before any decision in this regard.

It is noteworthy that Jordanian airlines currently use Egyptian airspace to head to Beirut and use the Israeli airspace to head to Turkey. Enditem
