Damascus International Airport has resumed international flights . The reopening follows a month-long closure amid political changes and ongoing conflict in Syria.
Syria's Damascus International Airport resumed international flights on January 7 following a closure in early December due to the ongoing conflict.
The airport had been temporarily shut down on December 8 amid the fighting associated with the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's government. However, flight operations were gradually reinstated on December 17 after the political changes earlier that month.
On January 7 a Qatar Airways flight landed at the airport, marking the first international flight from the airline to Damascus in over 13 years. This return of international flights followed earlier smaller-scale operations by airlines such as Iran’s Meraj Airlines and Syria’s Cham Wings before the airport’s closure.
Employees had been preparing the airport for the resumption of international services.
In addition to the return of international flights, a domestic flight between Damascus and Aleppo, Syria's second-largest city, also took place, marking the first service between the two cities since the airport's closure.
