It reflects efforts to restore normalcy and reopen Syria to international connections.
The reopening of Damascus International Airport is seen as a step toward rebuilding Syria’s connectivity with neighboring countries and the broader international community.
This development follows a broader trend of regional actors engaging with Syria as it transitions into a new phase of governance.
Syria’s aviation revival is part of a larger effort to rebuild its infrastructure and normalize relations with regional powers.
While challenges remain, these flights signal progress in re-establishing Syria as an active participant in regional and global affairs.
