Efforts to rehabilitate Damascus and Aleppo airports are underway with international support.
This marks the return of air traffic after a decade-long suspension following the civil war's outbreak in 2011. Qatar Airways will lead the revival with three weekly flights to Damascus starting the same day.
The resumption follows a major shift in Syria's political landscape, as anti-regime groups recently seized control of Damascus, ending Bashar Assad's nearly 25-year rule. A new administration, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, is now in power.
