Ahmad al-Shara, Syria’s new leader and top official of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a terrorist organization that led the attack against Assad’s government, is trying to adjust the nation to a new normal.

That could start with the reopening of a large airport in the country, which will assist the rest of the world in reopening a dialogue with a new Syria.

“We announce we will start receiving international flights to and from Damascus international airport from [Tuesday],” Ashhad al-Salibi, the head of the General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport, told state news agency Sana.

“We reassure Arab and international airlines that we have begun the phase of rehabilitating the Aleppo and Damascus airports with our partners’ help, so that they can welcome flights from all over the world.”

Al-Shara met with foreign dignitaries from France and Germany in Damascus on Friday. German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock and French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot made the trip, the first significant diplomatic visit from the West since the uprising subsided.

“We are traveling to Damascus today to offer our support, but also with clear expectations of the new rulers,” Baerbock said in a statement before the meeting. “A new beginning can only happen if all Syrians, no matter their ethnicity and religion, are given a place in the political process.”

There’s concern that Hayat Tahrir al-Sham won’t be able to govern effectively due to its terrorist organization status and past ties to al-Qaeda. The group has espoused conservative Islamic beliefs in the past, forcing women and girls to follow strict dress codes and persecuting religious minorities.

But al-Shara is attempting to project a moderate image as he takes power in Syria. Minister of education, Nadhir Al-Qadri, refuted recent allegations that the country’s education curriculum was set to become more conservative. He said it will remain unchanged except for the removal of “content glorifying the Assad regime” and the addition of images of the Syrian revolutionary flag.

Syria’s new leader wants Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s designation as a terrorist group to be removed as a part of a new start for the nation after an unpopular Assad regime has now been toppled.

“The current events demand the lifting of all sanctions on Syria,” he said in an interview last month.
