Damascus Opens Aviation Sector To Private Investment
Syria’s General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport has granted Fly Dar Airlines an Air Operator Certificate, making it the first Syrian private airline to receive the certification since the fall of Bashar Assad’s government. The certificate was presented during a ceremony in Damascus, attended by high-ranking officials. Fly Dar plans to operate flights beyond Damascus International Airport, with proposed connections between several Syrian cities and airports. The certification is part of Damascus’ efforts to rebuild its aviation sector and open the industry to greater private investment, as reported by The Media Line.
