Syria says that the country’s main airport in Damascus will resume incoming and outgoing international flights starting next week after commercial trips were halted following last month’s rebel takeover.
“We announce we will start receiving international flights to and from Damascus International Airport from” Tuesday, state news agency SANA says, quoting Ashhad al-Salibi, who heads the Civil Aviation and Air Transport Authority.
International aid planes have already been landing in Syria, and internal flights have also resumed.
