A report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington revealed that the regional conflict linked to Iran has led to increased air traffic through Syrian skies, as tensions have prompted airlines to choose safer routes across Syria. These changes have resulted in a doubling of transit flights, thereby boosting revenue from overflight fees collected by the Syrian government—a quick source of income supporting the Syrian economy amid significant economic challenges. Syria’s geographic location is becoming increasingly important as a hub connecting Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. However, the report warns that this sense of security may be temporary, depending on the continuation of geopolitical conditions and deteriorating security situations that could end this current benefit. This development could, in the future, facilitate Syria’s reintegration into the regional air transport network, with potential impacts on airport sectors and logistics services.
