Direct Flights from Libya to Syria to Start Next Week
The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority has announced the start of non-scheduled flights from Mitiga International Airport in Libya's capital, Tripoli, to Damascus International Airport beginning next Sunday. The service will be operated by Syrian Airlines in response to requests from the Syrian expatriate community in Libya. According to the authority, the initial phase will be limited to one-way flights from Tripoli to Damascus. Arrangements for regular two-way operations will follow at a later stage. Speaking at a press conference last week, Authority Chairman Ashhad Al-Sulibi outlined a plan to resume direct air links between Syria and Libya from next week. The schedule includes flights from Damascus to both Tripoli and Benghazi, as well as from Aleppo to the same destinations. The initiative aims to reconnect Syria with its overseas communities and strengthen ties with friendly nations to support recovery and reconstruction efforts. Al-Sulibi noted that a Syrian delegation recently visited Tripoli to assess the conditions of the Syrian community, which numbers over 150,000 people spread across eastern and western Libya. The visit also prepared the ground for reopening the Syrian embassy in Tripoli, followed by the opening of a consulate in Benghazi. During the visit, the delegation processed around 8,000 consular transactions, including passport extensions and the issuance of temporary travel documents. Mohammed Jaffal, Deputy Director of the Arab Affairs Department at Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expressed gratitude to Libya's Government of National Unity for waiving fines for Syrian nationals—both residents and those departing the country—until the end of 2025. He stressed that the decision would help strengthen the community's ties with their homeland. Tags: benghaziDamascusFlightslibyasyriatripoli

Syria plans to rehabilitate airports to accommodate tens of millions of passengers
The president of the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority, Omar al-Houssary, said Thursday in a statement that the country needed to rehabilitate its five airports, which have deteriorated due to years of war and financial difficulties, mainly linked to sanctions targeting the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which fell on Dec. 8. Houssary, appointed Wednesday by the new government formed by the Islamist coalition leading Syria, added that the country "plans to build a new airport in Damascus that can accommodate 30 million passengers, alongside the rehabilitation of the current airport." The rehabilitation of Aleppo airport is also a priority, as is the "conversion of Mezzeh military airport into a civilian airport," also in the Damascus region, he said. The statements from the aviation authority president were made on the sidelines of the Syrian-Saudi Investment Forum 2025, launched this week in Damascus with large participation from both sides. The forum saw the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Saudi Airports Holding Company and the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority, which saw the direct entry of Saudi Arabia into development projects in the Syrian aviation sector. The Syrian capital welcomed a Saudi delegation Wednesday, including more than 100 private sector companies and 20 government entities, according to a statement from the Saudi Investment Ministry, which said that the forum marks "the start of a new era of investment between the kingdom and Syria." During this investment forum held at the presidential palace, Saudi Investment Minister Khalid al-Falih announced "the signing of 47 agreements and memoranda of understanding with a total value of nearly 24 billion Saudi riyals (about $6.4 billion)."
