ALBAWABA- In a significant development for Syria, the country’s transitional government announced plans to reopen its airspace for civil aviation within hours.
Syria’s Transport Minister stated that efforts are underway to prepare civilian airports for full operation, with Aleppo International Airport already equipped and operational schedules for Damascus and Aleppo airports expected to be revealed in the coming days.
Simultaneously, work is progressing on reopening and streamlining border crossings with neighboring countries, signaling Syria’s intention to restore connectivity and economic activity after years of conflict.
