Flynas to Begin Direct Flights to Damascus on June 5
Flynas, the Saudi low-cost carrier, will launch its first direct flight between Riyadh and Damascus next week from June 5, according to Al-Arabiya. The resumption of flights comes amid a broader regional reopening of Syrian airspace. 'Officially…flynas announces the launch of its first direct flight between Riyadh and the Syrian capital, Damascus, starting June 5th next week,' the company said on X. The carrier previously operated direct flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to Damascus, Aleppo, and Latakia. However, the Syrian civil war caused the suspension of flights to Syria during Al-Assad's era. After the fall of Al-Assad's rule in December 2024, Syria has unfolded a new chapter to rebuild its future and expand diplomatic ties. In April, Syrian Airlines formally unveiled the resumption of direct flights between Syria and the United Arab Emirates, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA). A statement on the airline's official Facebook page noted that the initial phase will involve exceptional flights to Dubai and Sharjah. The airlines will operate four weekly flights between Damascus and Dubai on Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In addition, the statement revealed other plans to operate daily flights soon. As for Sharjah, flights will run on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays, with ongoing efforts to turn them into daily flights. On Tuesdays and Fridays, flights will run between Damascus and Abu Dhabi. Currently, Syrian Airlines is intensifying its efforts to expand its network as quickly as possible.
