Turkish Airlines (THY) is gearing up to restart its flights to Damascus and Aleppo International Airports, marking a significant development after a 13-year suspension. The airline, which ceased operations in Syria in 2011, has recently listed ticket sales for these destinations on its official website and mobile application. However, the exact date for the resumption of flights remains undisclosed.
This move follows a thorough assessment by a delegation from Türkiye’s State Airports Authority (DHMI), which recently visited both Damascus and Aleppo airports. Given the prolonged hiatus, the team conducted extensive inspections to evaluate the current state of infrastructure and operations at the airports. These evaluations are critical to ensuring flight operations’ safety and efficiency.
The reopening of these routes signifies a potential step forward in re-establishing connections between Türkiye and Syria, which were disrupted during the Syrian conflict. Turkish Airlines’ decision to resume services underscores a cautious but meaningful approach to rebuilding regional aviation links.
Further updates on the flight schedules are expected to be announced soon, as the airline finalizes its preparations for reinitiating operations to these historically significant destinations.
