Dec 18, 2024, 08:21 AM
Damascus International Airport has resumed operations for the first time since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, with the first domestic flight taking off for Aleppo on December 18, 2024. The airport's reopening comes after significant preparations, with work at the facility reported to be 90% complete prior to its official opening. The inaugural flight, which included 43 passengers such as journalists, marks a pivotal moment for Syria, as the country transitions towards normalcy following years of conflict. The flight from Damascus to Aleppo is part of a broader effort to restore air travel, with plans for additional domestic flights anticipated in the coming days. The reopening of the airport is seen as a critical step in re-establishing connectivity within the war-torn nation.
