The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority has taken control of Qamishli International Airport in northeastern Syria, following an agreement between the government and the YPG/SDF. This move aims to unify airport management under the state and enhance operational safety and efficiency. Qamishli airport, significant due to its location in previously SDF-controlled areas, has not had civil flights for 15 years. The agreement comes after a military operation by the Syrian Army to regain territory in eastern Syria.
