Royal Jordanian on Friday became the latest airline to resume flights to Syria following the overthrow of the Assad regime in December.
The flag carrier made its first trip from Amman to Damascus in 13 years on Friday, and announced it would initially operate four flights a week.
“The company plans to increase flights to one a day next April,” Royal Jordanian CEO Samer Al-Majali said, according to a statement.
International flights from Damascus airport resumed on 7 January, nearly a month after the ouster of president Bashar al-Assad by an Islamist-led alliance.
For more than a decade, few international carriers operated flights in and out of Syria during a civil war that began with a crackdown by Assad on pro-democracy protests.
Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and Emirates have all resumed flights to the Syrian capital.
