Imagine the cost savings!
Since we cannot transit Damamscus, imagine the cost savings and time saved from Dubai - Larnaca, Italy, France, and the rest of southern Europe. It will be a heck of a job with the radio work as I'm sure Tel Aviv and Jeddah will not coordinate, but I'm guessing this is the main driver of this normalization. No flights to Israel, but the overflights will save 30 minutes to 1 hour on these kinds of sectors.
