Syria's main airport in Damascus will reopen for international flights next week, marking the first time since the fall of Bashar Assad's regime. The reopening is seen as an attempt to project stability by rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa. International aid planes have already landed in Syria, and domestic flights within the country have resumed. Qatar Airways and Egypt's Foreign Ministry have announced their return to flying to Syria, delivering humanitarian aid and supplies. Syria has faced international sanctions since the civil war began in 2011.
