Syrian Arab Airlines

29/05/2017 Modified 27/12/2018
The origin of Syrian Arab Airlines can be traced back to 1946, when its forerunner Syrian Airways was established. Its first internal and external flights were carried out using helicopters. Syrian Air was established in October 1961, by the Government of Syria, to succeed Syrian Airways. In 1963, when the Syrian Revolution took place, the airline entered jet age, by acquiring four Super-Caravel jet-engine planes. Its western journey began with flights to Rome & Munich. Gradually, it came to be known as SyrianAir.
Syrian Arab Airlines is the national airline of Syria. It operates both domestic and international services and its main base is Damascus International Airport. Syrian Air is a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization. Currently, the airline employs a staff of over 10000 and is wholly owned by the Syrian government.
