STORYLINE:
The first international commercial flight since the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad landed on Tuesday at Damascus airport, arriving from Qatar.

Jordanian state-run Petra news agency also reported that a Royal Jordanian Airlines plane departed Tuesday for Damascus on a test flight.

The head of the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission said the aim was to evaluate the technical condition of Damascus airport before resuming regular flights.

Since the lightning rebel offensive that unseated Assad a month ago, Arab and Western countries that had cut off relations with the former government have been reopening diplomatic relations with Syria’s new de facto authorities, headed by the Islamist former insurgent group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS.
