The airport in the Syrian capital Damascus plans to resume international flights on January 7 after the change of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. About this reported head of the civil aviation authority of Syria, Ashhad al-Salibi.
“We announce that we will start accepting international flights to and from Damascus International Airport on January 7”, says the message.
In addition, work is underway to restore the airport in Aleppo. According to Ashhad al-Salibi, these measures are implemented in cooperation with international partners, which will allow receiving flights from all over the world.
Earlier, Qatar Airways also announced the resumption of flights to Damascus. Three flights are planned for the next week. The company said in a statement that it is working with the relevant authorities to ensure all safety standards are met.
We will remind that at the end of November 2024, Syrian rebels launched an offensive on Aleppo, which has been under the control of government forces since 2016. Already on December 8, opposition groups announced the liberation of Damascus from the Assad regime, which became a key event for the country.
