Syria’s Deir Ezzor Airport receives first domestic flight in decade

LONDON: The main airport in the Syrian Arab Republic’s eastern province of Deir Ezzor received its first domestic flight in a decade on Wednesday, a Syrian Airlines service from Damascus International Airport, following the conclusion of repair work. The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority said the route was part of an effort to revive domestic air travel, ease passenger movement, support economic activity and strengthen links between Syria’s provinces, the state news agency SANA reported. Work on the airport began early this year.
