The first European Union flight to Syria in over a decade took off from Romania and landed in Damascus, marking a resumption of direct air links between the EU and Syria after more than 10 years. Subsequently, Turkish airline AJet commenced flights from Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen International Airport to Damascus, completing the first post-Assad era flight on this route. These developments indicate a gradual normalization of air travel connections between Syria and European countries, including Turkey.
