Turkish Airlines, a leader in global connectivity, has officially resumed its flights to Damascus, marking a major return to a destination the airline first began servicing in February 1984. After a hiatus of nearly 12 years, the airline has reintroduced this vital route, which had been suspended in April 2012 due to regional factors. The resumption of flights to Damascus signifies a key development in Turkish Airlines’ efforts to strengthen its global network.

Effective from January 23, 2025, Turkish Airlines will offer flights to Damascus three times a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. This schedule will provide travelers from Istanbul and Damascus with the opportunity to easily access these two historically rich cities, as well as connect to a broader range of international destinations through Turkish Airlines’ expansive global network.

On the resuming of the Damascus flights, Turkish Airlines CEO, Bilal Ekşi stated: “As Turkish Airlines, we are excited to recommence our flights to Damascus, capital of Syria. With the historical ties we share between the two countries, we believe that the return of Turkish Airlines will further reinforce these bonds and contribute to trade and cultural potential of the region. As we continue to diversify the Middle East’s gateways to the world, we continue our mission of building bridges between countries and peoples around the globe with our unparalleled flight network.”

Passengers can book round-trip tickets from Istanbul to Damascus, with prices starting at $299 USD, which includes all applicable taxes and fees. These prices are based on Turkish Airlines’ official website and may vary when purchased at sales offices or through travel agencies.

This route reinstatement is part of Turkish Airlines’ ongoing commitment to expand its global footprint. The airline now operates flights to 352 destinations in 131 countries, continuing to provide exceptional service and seamless travel experiences worldwide. By reopening the Damascus route, Turkish Airlines enhances travel options for both business and leisure travelers, further solidifying its role as a bridge between cultures and nations.

The return of Turkish Airlines to Damascus reflects the airline’s resilience and determination to connect more people, offering unmatched service and convenience even in challenging times. Whether traveling for work, exploration, or connecting to another part of the world, Turkish Airlines continues to lead the way in global aviation.
