Syriaβs Damascus airport has reopened for the first time since the fall of president Assad. For now, the airport is only open to domestic flights. Officials are calling for sanctions to be lifted to allow Syriaβs aviation sector to function properly again.
For more on this, we talk to DWβs Aya Ibrahim, who joins us from Damascus.

Love Aya and Max's work they are the stars of the show

How to lift sanctions if Syrian government is a terrorist organization? Pie in the sky.
Just one question, we have seen the toppling of dictators and protests over the last 20 years throughout the Middle East, which one of those have been successful with a flourishing democracy? And people actually believe somehow this time will be different π€
Theyβre opening at Damascus Airport!
I ask how is a future for Syria as the new leaders are Isis and Alqaida? What is good here for girls and women? Bad is go and Bad is come! Don't be fool!
Finnaly the syrians in the west can Return home
Itβs not AAA -YA. Itβs Γya Sir.
Wondering if everything was closed during Asad's regime
…Looking into Aya's eyes I feel like I'm under a trance.
Probably still better than Cairo International Airport! That airport was horrible
How many of Syrians who lives in asylum in Western democratic countries are willing to go to their home land Syria, where sharia law has taken place? This is not rhetorical question btw ! Just think about it !
Saudi Arabia is the smartest and luckiest country in the Middle East. They are not directly engaged any wars in recent history
Syria needs to slowly and correctly open to the rest of the world. Avoid graft and corruption in government
Use the smartphones to give free education and jobs, don't give free money to any government agencies,try to even collect the money back from Indonesia π

They should emulate UAE or Qatar. Modern and prosperous.
Turkiye Syria does not even have border guards and Immigration control. At least the youtube so suggest.

Central bank still alive with less than $5.0 billion reserves and loads of foreign debt. Banks still working.
State employees direct or vis state link firms. Petrol still available at $0.8/liter.
π’
This is good case study on how a state can recover from rock bottom.
π’
I pray for an inclusive Syria at peace, stable , prosperous with a capable, efficient honest government
Prayers for Syria

Syrian sanctions should be lifted immediately. They have to rebuild the country!
As the path to greater Israel has been cleared by toppling Bashar ul Assad regime therefore imperialist powers are lifting sanctions.
If there are licensed pilots in Syria then there must be tons of engineers and doctors as well
Alhamdulillah.. Finally the Syrian people brings life back to their country after 54 years suppressed by the cruel regime..
Syria has been comprehensively wrecked by the USA allied with Islamists. Under Assad – for all his repression – it was prosperous and had universal health care unlike the USA. Now its resources and its labour force will be viciously but profitably exploited by the West.

Enshallah I will be there soon and we my family I havenβt seen for so long
Syria operated Boeing 747 before the civil war and had a good airline. Sad to see the destruction the war has done . Best wishes from Somalia on the New Syria πΈπ΄βπ»β€
Paul Biya d dictator of Cameroon has his pictures all over d country at every corner , just like Bashar his will go down as well
in the next few months syria is going to need construction workers plumbers electricians masonary workers carpenters heavy equpmint operaters and arcitits
I wish Syria and its people all the very best in their efforts to rebuild and normalize their country !
nice for Syria, hope they will improve more unlike the Afghanistan wherein after the Taliban takeover they're back to stone age era again…
Damascus means change God bringing changeπ
Maybe Sam Chui could help.
Congratulations to all Syrians !@
Transitional government not HTS.
