Damascus, Syria:

The first Qatari commercial flight in nearly 13 years landed in Damascus on Tuesday, AFP correspondents said, as international traffic resumed at Syria's main airport nearly a month after rebels toppled Bashar al-Assad.

The Qatar Airways plane took off from Doha and landed at around 1:00 pm (10:00 GMT), not long after the airport's first outbound flight took off headed for Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.
