Women walk past the office of Kinda Airlines, a private Syrian airline company, in Damascus on April 9. The new Syrian airline plans to start flights from the war-torn country in May, a company manager told Reuters last month, following months of gains on the battlefield by forces loyal to President Bashar Al-Assad. The manager told Reuters that Kinda Airlines will operate out of Damascus International Airport and the coastal city of Latakia. It aims to fly to more than 10 destinations within a year, including the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq and "hopefully Lebanon and Jordan".  Reuters/Khaled al-Hariri
