Flight route changes boost Syria air traffic
The Syrian airspace saw a significant increase in transit flights during May, reaching 11,801 flights, a 375% rise compared to the same month last year. This growth resulted from airlines redirecting their routes to avoid areas affected by the American-Israeli war against Iran. It also contributed to boosting revenues in the aviation sector, as Syria earned approximately $5.9 million in fees from transit flights, along with improvements in flight times and reduced fuel consumption. This shift came after airlines reassessed their routes and chosen to pass through Syrian skies instead of Iraqi airspace, thereby enhancing foreign currency resources and helping to stimulate the Syrian economy after years of war.
