The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), through the Embassy of Romania in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is paying attention to the situation of a group of 100 Romanian citizens who remained stranded, on December 7, 2022, at the „Queen Alia” International Airport in Amman, against the background the cancellation of some flights to Romania, due to unfavorable weather conditions, according to a press release issued by MAE.

The representatives of the diplomatic mission undertook, as an emergency, steps with the competent Jordanian authorities, as well as with the travel agency that organized the trip and the carrier airline from Romania, in order to identify some solutions to the situation created.

Astfel, un reprezentant al Ambasadei României la Amman s-a deplasat la aeroport, imediat după semnalarea situației, pentru a discuta cu cetățenii români afectați și cu reprezentanții aeroportului și ai companiei de transport aerian, pentru a se asigura că cetățenilor români le sunt respectate drepturile de care beneficiază în astfel de situații și pentru a le acorda asistență consulară.

According to the data communicated by the Romanian Embassy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the dialogue with the Romanian citizens at the airport is also maintained by representatives of the airline. They offered, on behalf of the company, alternatives until departure to Romania – hotel accommodation until the next available flight or support for identifying other travel routes to the country. Romanian citizens will communicate the decision taken to the representatives of the air transport company.

Potrivit datelor comunicate de Ambasada României în Regatul Haşemit al Iordaniei, dialogul cu cetățenii români aflați la aeroport este menținut și de către reprezentanți ai companiei aeriene. Aceștia au oferit, în numele companiei, alternative până la plecarea către România – cazare la hotel până la următoarea cursă aeriană disponibilă sau sprijin pentru identificarea unor alte rute de deplasare către țară. Cetățenii români vor comunica reprezentanților firmei de transport aerian decizia luată.

The MFA, through the Romanian diplomatic mission in Amman, maintains contact with the Romanian citizens, as well as with the airline and the competent Jordanian authorities, until the resolution of this situation and the safe return of the Romanian citizens to Romania.
