First international commercial flight since Assad’s ouster lands in Damascus
The first international commercial flight since the fall of Syria’s Assad regime last month lands at the Damascus airport from Qatar.
The head of Syria’s Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission, Capt. Haitham Misto, who is on board the flight with a team of specialists, says the aim is to evaluate the condition of the Damascus airport before resuming regular flights.
Jordanian state-run Petra news agency also reports that a Royal Jordanian Airlines plane is heading to Damascus on a test flight.
