Damascus: The Syrian Civil Aviation and Air Transport Authority announced Tuesday that it had recommissioned Aleppo International Airport and reopened the air corridors in the northern sector of the airspace toward Turkiye, effective from Tuesday night.

However, the authority emphasised that air traffic will remain closed in the southern part of the country, including Damascus International Airport, until further notice.

In a statement, the Authority clarified that the move is triggered by the ongoing combat operations between Iran and the Israeli occupation, along with the penetration of Israeli missiles and combat jets, with some of them passing through Syrian airspace.

The statement further pointed out that the decision had been seconded following an overall technical and security assessment to strike a balance between safety requirements and ensuring the minimum threshold of the continuity of the air link.
