Qatar Airways said it will restart passenger services to Aleppo on 10 August, offering three flights a week and becoming one of the highest-profile carriers to re-enter Syria since the country’s civil war disrupted commercial aviation routes. The move adds to a gradual return of international traffic to Syria. Reuters data show at least 11 foreign airlines are slated to operate in the country this month, up from just three a year earlier, although scheduled flights remain only 58 percent of July 2010 volumes. Industry officials caution that deficient airport infrastructure, patchy radar coverage and intermittent Israeli strikes continue to deter many operators, underscoring the fragile nature of Syria’s post-war aviation recovery.
