Turkish Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Qatar Airways are back to Syrian airports after a 13-year hiatus, Ankara has touted negotiations about a maritime demarcation agreement with Damascus, and the French giant CMA CGM is poised to sign a new agreement to renew its contract managing the Port of Lattakia’s container terminal. Two months after the ousting of the Assad regime, Syrian ports and airports are gradually reconnecting to the world, albeit at a slow pace.
