A Syrian Airlines passenger plane from Damascus Airport landed at Aleppo, marking the first flight between the two cities – the country’s largest – since the regime's collapse.
The airport, which ceased flights after the regime's collapse on Dec. 8, reopened after preparations were completed.
Bashar Assad, Syria’s leader for nearly 25 years, fled to Russia after anti-regime groups took control of Damascus on Dec. 8, ending the Baath Party regime, which had been in power since 1963.
