Syria's airport role shifts post-Assad
The Deir ez-Zor Airport in Syria has resumed civilian operations after more than a decade of closure, welcoming its first two domestic flights and two international flights since 2012. This reflects a shift from the airport's previous role as a military base used for bombing campaigns to a civilian facility connecting various regions within Syria to the world. Additionally, Syria has seen the reopening of other airports, such as in Damascus and Aleppo, with their operational capacities restored to facilitate both domestic and international flights. Meanwhile, some military bases, like Khmeimim and T4, have been transformed into joint training and rehabilitation centers or placed under Syrian-Russian management agreements. This transition is part of efforts to rebuild Syria's civilian infrastructure following years of war and destruction, all while monitoring security conditions and regional tensions—particularly from Israel, which has targeted certain military sites to prevent Turkish presence or safeguard its interests.
