São Paulo — On Thursday, Syria's civil aviation authority, GACA, has granted an air operator certificate to FlyDar Aviation, marking the first time a private airline has received authorization to operate under the nation's regulatory system since the end of Bashar al-Assad's rule, according to state news agency SANA. This significant move follows the government's ongoing efforts to revitalize Syria's aviation industry.
Omar Hosari, the head of GACA, emphasized that the certification signifies more than the authorization of a single airline; it represents a broader initiative to open the aviation market to Syrian companies and investment. "The certificate is not just a permit for a company to commence operations; it signifies the start of a new era for Syria's aviation sector," Hosari stated during the announcement.
GACA is currently constructing an integrated framework for licensing, regulatory oversight, and air operations that aligns with international standards. This effort encompasses revitalizing airports, modernizing airport infrastructure, enhancing air navigation systems, and expanding Syria's global air connections. Syria has set a goal to rebuild the aviation sector by 2030 and aims to establish itself as a vital air transport link between the Middle East and Europe, as well as a connection between the Gulf and the Levant.
