The Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) has issued Jordan’s first commercial drone operator license to Elements TV Production, marking a milestone in the country’s aviation and technology sectors. The license was granted under the Civil Aviation Law No. 41 of 2007 and its amendments, in line with technical and safety standards.
CARC Chairman Haitham Misto said the move reflects years of effort to establish a regulatory framework for drone licensing and operations, ensuring compliance with civil aviation safety and security requirements. He confirmed that more licenses will be issued as additional companies complete the necessary qualifications.
Ibrahem Abusalma, General Manager of Elements TV Production, praised CARC’s role, calling the license a testament to Jordan’s maturing legislation and commitment to innovation. He noted that Elements plans to expand drone applications beyond media and marketing into sectors such as tourism, construction, and agriculture.
Commercial drone services are expected to benefit areas like security monitoring, infrastructure inspection, crop management, mapping, surveying, parcel delivery, and smart city initiatives. The sector is seen as a driver of investment, job creation, and technological advancement, supporting Jordan’s digital economy while improving efficiency and reducing costs.
