Omar Hassari, Head of the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority, announced that the authority has received the first shipment of navigation devices and equipment provided by Turkey, as part of its support to enhance air transport safety in Syria.
The shipment includes the Instrument Landing System (ILS), which facilitates aircraft landings in difficult weather conditions, in addition to the DVOR/DME system that provides aircraft with accurate data on direction and distance, Hassari explained in a statement to SANA.
He stated that these devices will be installed at Damascus International Airport once the necessary infrastructure work is completed, allowing pilots to approach the runway with greater precision and safety, and enhancing the level of safety and security in air navigation.
Hassari expressed the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority’s gratitude to Turkey for this technical support, stressing that this step represents a significant milestone in the efforts to develop Syria’s airport infrastructure and enhance the safety and security levels of air transport.
