Syrian airline operates flights from Russian-controlled airports
Flights are being operated to the Qamishli Airport after the Damascus International Airport went out of service due to Israeli air strikes.
Cham Wings, a private airline close to the Syrian government, announced June 13 that it will start operating flights from Beirut to the Qamishli Airport in northeastern Syria, and from there to the Aleppo International Airport in northwestern Syria.
The announcement came days after the Damascus International Airport went out of service due to Israeli air strikes.
Abdul Ahad Daoud, the company’s agent in Hasakah province, said in a press statement that the company will fly from Beirut to Qamishli and back every Sunday, as well as flights between Qamishli and Aleppo every Sunday "until the Damascus International Airport is back to normal operations.”
The company had announced June 11 that it would transport passengers between Aleppo and Damascus via private buses.
