Damascus - Syria
Initial rehabilitation work has begun in Syria at Mezzeh Airport, in a preliminary step to reclassify it as a limited civil airport designated for private and executive aviation, to complement Damascus International Airport in the Syrian air transport system.

Removal of rubble and rehabilitation of air navigation

The ongoing work includes removing rubble and rehabilitating components of the air navigation infrastructure, in addition to completing the necessary technical, operational and regulatory requirements to ensure the readiness of the airport in accordance with approved standards, preparing it to receive this type of flights.

A prospective destination for private aviation

The project comes within a broader plan to restructure the civil aviation sector, as Mezzeh Airport serves a specific category of private and executive flights, while Damascus International Airport remains the main travel gateway for commercial and regular flights, which reduces pressure on the international airport and opens a new path for air traffic.

A promising opportunity for Arab tourists and investors
This development carries special significance for Arab tourists and investors alike. The presence of an airport designated for private and executive aviation facilitates the arrival of businessmen, delegations, and private tourist trips to Damascus and its surroundings, shortens the processing time, and opens the way for investment opportunities in the hospitality, transportation, and logistics sectors related to reconstruction and gradual opening up to regional markets.

A step on the path to logistical recovery

The rehabilitation of the airport represents a practical step on the path to strengthening the Syrian logistical window and restoring air transport capabilities, in a way that supports the movement of business and delegations and establishes a gradual picture of the return of life to the country’s vital facilities.
