Al-Hasakah, Feb. 8 (SANA) A Syrian Ministry of Interior delegation headed by al-Hasakah Internal Security Commander Marwan al-Ali and Airports and Border Crossings Security Director Ahmad al-Ahmad, accompanied by Deputy Head of the General Authority of Civil Aviation Amjad Nakhal, inspected on Sunday Qamishli Airport in al-Hasakah province ahead of its handover under the agreement between the Syrian government and the SDF and to review preparations for its reopening.
Head of the Syrian General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport Omar al-Hassari said the transfer of Qamishli Airport represents a pivotal sovereign and development step that will reconnect the Jazira region with the national aviation network.
He added that bringing the airport back under unified administration would place Syrian airspace and airports within a single institutional framework, enhancing aviation safety while supporting economic activity and public services.
Last week, Interior Ministry spokesman Nour Eddin al-Baba said a timetable had been set to implement all provisions of the deal, including the handover of strategic facilities such as border crossings, Qamishli Airport, and oil fields so they can resume operations in service of the Syrian people.
