Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, has announced that Turkish low-cost carrier AJet will begin operating regular flights to Damascus later this month.
Departures will take place from Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport and Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport, according to Anadolu agency.
Flights from Sabiha Gökçen to Damascus International Airport are set to begin on June 16, with reciprocal service four days a week—Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Flights between Ankara Esenboğa and Damascus will start on June 17, operating three days a week—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Uraloğlu added that flights from Istanbul to Damascus are expected to increase to daily service in the near future.
Additionally, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Monday that alongside AJet's new route, Syrian Airlines will soon begin operating flights to Türkiye.
Earlier this year, Türkiye's national flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, resumed flights to Syria after a 13-year suspension due to the civil war. The Istanbul–Damascus route restarted in January, signaling a broader normalization in Turkey-Syria relations.
