Flag carrier Turkish Airlines is resuming service to Syria on Friday with an Istanbul-Damascus flight after halting operations in 2012, due to the country’s civil war, which lasted over a dozen years.
Many Syrians voiced joy at returning to their homeland after years of exile. Some were seen carrying flags from December’s Syrian revolution, which saw the Assad regime quickly fall.
Nearly 350 passengers boarded the flight to Damascus International Airport after doing ticket and passport checks.
