International flights resume at Damascus airport: AFP

International flights resumed at Syria's main airport in Damascus on Tuesday for the first time since Islamist-led rebels toppled President Bashar al-Assad last month, AFP journalists said.

A Syrian Airlines flight bound for Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, took off at around 11:45 a.m. (0845 GMT), marking the first international commercial flight from the airport since December 8, AFP correspondents said.
