The airport in Syria's capital Damascus on Wednesday resumed flight operations following the fall of the Baath regime.
A Syrian Airlines passenger plane took off from Damascus International Airport for Aleppo, marking the first flight since the fall of the Assad regime.
The airport, which ceased flights after the regime's collapse on Dec. 8, reopened after preparations were completed.
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.
