Syrian Fly Dar Airlines becomes first to receive air operator certification since fall of Assad
The certificate was presented on Thursday, September 24, during a ceremony at the authority’s headquarters in Damascus. The event was attended by Omar al-Hosari, head of the Civil Aviation Authority.
The General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport in Syria has granted Fly Dar Airlines an Air Operator Certificate, marking it as the first private Syrian airline to receive such certification since the fall of Bashar Assad's government in December 2024. The certification ceremony took place on September 24 at the authority's headquarters in Damascus, attended by Omar al-Hosari, head of the Civil Aviation Authority, and Abdul Hamid al-Awak, speaker of the Syrian People's Assembly.
Fly Dar's general manager, Captain Mohsen al-Sallal, received the certificate on behalf of the company, which plans to establish its main operating base at Damascus International Airport. The certification process, which took approximately six months, involves completing regulatory, technical, and operational procedures, allowing Fly Dar to move toward commercial operations in line with Syria's civil aviation regulations and standards.
