Syria’s Aleppo airport reopens after Israeli strikes
DAMSCUS: Syria’s Aleppo airport reopened on Friday, with the first civilian flight landing in more than 72 hours, after repairs following an Israeli air strike earlier this week.
Damage to the main runway in Tuesday’s raid had put the airport — the country’s second-largest — out of service, but the transport ministry said Friday repairs had been completed.
The first incoming flight, from Kuwait, landed at 8:30 pm local time (1730 GMT), according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.
