The General Authority of Civil Aviation in the UAE said in a statement on Sunday that it is evaluating the situation for the resumption of flights of national airlines to the Syrian capital Damascus.
Etihad Airways and Emirates Airlines suspended flights to Damascus in 2012 due to security concerns.
In response to a request for comment, Union said it had no immediate plans to resume services to Damascus, adding that it was constantly monitoring the situation.
Emirates said in a statement that it was monitoring the situation but had nothing to announce at the moment.
The statement was issued after the UAE reopened its embassy in Damascus on Thursday, where Abu Dhabi considered that this step "confirms the UAE government's keenness to restore relations between the two countries to normal course."
A series of steps
The opening of the UAE Embassy in Damascus preceded a series of steps, notably a surprise visit by Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to Syria a few days ago, the first Arab president of Damascus since the outbreak of the conflict.
The head of Syria's national security office Ali Mamluk also held talks in Cairo last weekend during a rare visit by a senior security official to Egypt after the conflict broke out.
Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz will visit Syria on January 10 to be the second Arab president to visit since the start of the revolution in early 2011, the Russian news agency Sputnik reported.
After a break of eight years, the first tourist flight from Syria to Tunisia was carried out on Thursday by a private plane belonging to the "Wings of the Sham", carrying about 160 people.
