Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • International flights have resumed at Damascus airport, marking a significant moment since Bashar al-Assad's fall, with the first direct flight from Doha in 13 years.
  • The atmosphere was festive, with passengers celebrating and expressing pride in being Syrian after years of hardship.
  • Passengers noted a new sense of safety and reduced corruption at the airport, a stark contrast to the previous regime.
  • Ground staff and crews have returned, although they face challenges such as pending wages and previous damages to the infrastructure.
  • The resumption may lead to more international flight routes, with hopes of lifting sanctions allowing broader access and improving the airline fleet.
