  "account": "São Paulo — Syria’s civil aviation agency, GACA, has authorized FlyDar Aviation, a private airline, to operate within the nation for the first time since the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s rule, according to state-run SANA. This decision comes as part of the government's ongoing efforts to revive the country's aviation industry. Omar Hosari, GACA's chief executive, noted that this license represents far more than merely permitting a single airline to commence operations; it symbolizes a significant shift in Syria's aviation landscape. During the announcement, Hosari explained that the certificate signifies the inception of a new era for Syria's aviation sector. The General Authority for Civil Aviation is currently formulating a comprehensive framework for licensing, regulatory supervision, and air operations that adheres to international standards. This initiative encompasses reviving airports, upgrading airport infrastructure, enhancing air navigation systems, and broadening Syria's international air links. The Middle Eastern nation is charting a strategy to reconstruct its aviation sector by 2030 and aims to function as a vital air transport corridor connecting the Middle East with Europe, as well as linking the Gulf region to the Levant.",
