Syria’s Skies Reopen Amid Flight Surge
Description
Syria’s skies are buzzing again—nearly 12,000 flights zipped through in May alone, a dramatic rebound after years of war shut down air traffic. Airlines are rerouting around Middle East conflict zones, now flying over Syria instead of Iraq and the Gulf. The Syrian government is cashing in, hiking overflight fees and raking in nearly $6 million last month. While aviation monitors still flag the airspace as risky, officials are upbeat, citing upgraded systems and renewed international cooperation. Traffic is up—but still far below pre-war levels, with major carriers still steering clear.
