DAMASCUS (Xinhua) – The Syrian transport ministry said on Saturday that the international airport of Aleppo city in northern Syria has returned to service after a recent airstrike by the Zionist regime.

The reparation process is still going on at the Aleppo airport but the safety of landing and takeoff has been put in place, said a ministry statement. On Wednesday, a missile attack targeted the airport, causing damage to parts of its runway. The airport of the capital Damascus was also hit on the same day but the attack didn’t cause a halt in flights. In June, a missile strike made the Damascus airport out of service for two weeks.
