The collapse of the 61-year-old Baath regime in Syria has led to significant changes across the region, accelerating efforts to resume air travel with neighboring countries. In this context, the head of the Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority, Heysem Mestev, announced that flights from Jordan to Damascus are expected to start soon.
First Flight to Syria After 13 Years
Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the normalization process in Syria has gained momentum. After 13 years, the first domestic flight between Damascus and Aleppo was carried out. This historic flight was widely regarded as the beginning of the restructuring of Syria’s air transportation.
Preparations for Air Traffic Between Jordan and Syria Have Started
Heysem Mestev, the head of the Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority, announced that work has begun to start flights from Jordan to Syria’s capital, Damascus. Mestev stated, “This process is dependent on the preparation of Damascus Airport for flights.”
Key Developments:
- Royal Jordanian has requested to resume flights to Damascus.
- Security Priority: The resumption of air traffic will be directly linked to the securing of Syria’s airspace.
- Logistical and Technical Preparations: Necessary technical and logistical approvals are expected to be obtained for the flights to commence.
Collapse of the Baath Regime and Regional Mobility
With the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the Syrian people have started to return to their country. This development also lays the groundwork for the revival of trade and transportation relations with neighboring countries.
Conclusion: The Role of Air Transport in Syria’s Reconstruction
The resumption of air travel between Jordan and Syria is a crucial step for the normalization of regional relations and the increase of economic cooperation. As Damascus Airport is prepared and security concerns are addressed, the resumption of flights is expected to mark the beginning of a new era for both Jordan and Syria.
