This step was regarded as a reflection of the strong and fraternal ties between the two nations. It was seen as a push towards more joint work in various fields, promising benefits and prosperity for both peoples. The move marked a significant milestone in the bilateral relations between Algeria and Syria, indicating a renewed interest in strengthening ties and collaboration in areas beyond aviation.
The resumption of flights is anticipated to bolster tourism, business, and cultural exchanges, enhancing the connection between the two countries.
