Türkiye’s AJet to begin flights to Syria’s Damascus in mid-June

Turkish Airlines’ low-cost subsidiary AJet said it will start flights to Syria’s capital, Damascus, from Istanbul and Ankara airports in mid-June.

AJet said in a statement that flights from Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport will begin from June 16. Flights will initially take place four times per week before operating daily from July, it added.

Flights to Damascus from the Turkish capital Ankara will start from June 17, three times per week, the carrier also said.

Turkish Airlines resumed flights to Damascus in January after a 13-year suspension.

Türkiye, a close ally of the new government in Damascus, has pledged to support the country’s reconstruction. Ankara has already helped with the improvement and maintenance of Syria’s airports, the transport minister said earlier.
