Syria and Saudi Arabia resume regular commercial flights after 12-year suspension, advancing thawing relationship.
Syria and Saudi Arabia have resumed regular commercial flights after a 12-year suspension, marking an advancement in their thawing relationship. Ties were severed in 2012 due to Syria's President Bashar Assad's crackdown on anti-government protesters, but most Arab countries have since restored diplomatic ties with Damascus. Syria was readmitted to the Arab League last year, and the resumption of flights is considered an additional step in the process of developing relations between the two nations.
