International flights to and from Damascus International Airport will resume on Tuesday, after a suspension of commercial services following the rebel takeover in December, the Syrian news agency Sana announced.

“We announce the resumption of international flights to and from Damascus International Airport starting Tuesday,” the head of the Civil Aviation and Air Transport Authority, Ashhad al-Salibi, was quoted as saying by the Syrian news agency SANA on Saturday.

“We reassure Arab and international airlines that we have started the rehabilitation phase of Aleppo and Damascus airports with the help of our partners, so that they can accommodate planes from all over the world,” he added.

International aid planes have already landed

International aid planes have already landed in Syria and domestic flights have also resumed.

On Thursday, Qatar Airways announced the resumption of its flights to the Syrian capital from Tuesday, after a nearly three-year hiatus.

On December 18, the first flight since the flight of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, ousted from power by a coalition of rebels ten days earlier, took off from Damascus airport bound for Aleppo, in the north of the country, AFP journalists noted.
