Aleppo, June 25 (SANA) Aleppo International Airport received the first Jazeera Airways flight from Kuwait International Airport on Thursday, marking the launch of a regular direct route between Kuwait and Aleppo.
The flight carried 120 passengers, according to Syrian aviation officials.
Mustafa Khairallah, head of the Media Department at the Syrian Civil Aviation and Air Transport Authority, told SANA the new route is part of efforts to expand air connectivity to and from Aleppo and attract more regional and international airlines.
Walid al-Ahmad, director of public relations at Aleppo International Airport, said Jazeera Airways will initially operate two flights a week to Aleppo, with service expected to increase to three weekly flights starting July 21 as demand grows.
Fidaa Khalil, Jazeera Airways’ general sales agent in Syria, said the airline plans to add Deir Ezzor to its Syrian network on July 25, alongside its existing services to Damascus and Aleppo.
The route comes as Syria’s Transport Ministry works to expand air links through partnerships with regional airlines and improve connectivity for passengers and trade.
