Bahrain’s Gulf Air and the UAE’s Etihad Airways, he added, had requested a similar inspection visit from the Syrian government.

The Syrian official pointed out that the visits came in preparation for “the resumption of the air carriers’ flights to Damascus.”

State-owned Syrian Air and Syria’s private Cham Wings company currently operate direct flights from Damascus to the UAE.

Late December, the UAE announced the reopening of its embassy in Damascus after a six-year shutdown. Days later, Bahrain and Kuwait said they would reopen their embassies in Syria “soon.”
