The first international commercial flight since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad landed Tuesday at the Damascus airport. Qatar Airways greeted passengers returning to a rehabilitated terminal.
Ashad al-Suleibi, head of Syria's Air Transport Authority, remarked on the damage caused by the Assad regime, highlighting the need for rehabilitation of the destroyed airports due to ongoing conflicts.
Osama Musalama, a passenger arriving from the US, expressed his emotional return after a decade, stating, "We were waiting for this moment and lost hope, but thank God now the country is back to its people."
The re-establishment of flights, including a test flight by Royal Jordanian Airlines, signals a potential normalization of international relations as countries evaluate the new government's stability.
