flydubai has announced the resumption of its daily direct flights between Dubai and Aleppo in Syria from 20 July, making Aleppo the airline's second destination in Syria alongside Damascus.
The flights to Aleppo International Airport depart from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport, as part of the expansion of flydubai's operations in the Syrian market and providing direct travel options between the UAE and Syria, according to a post on the flydubai website.
flydubai CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said the resumption of flights to Aleppo comes after a suspension of more than 14 years, adding that the daily flights aim to meet demand for direct travel and strengthen economic, cultural and family ties between the two countries.
Aleppo sees demand for business travel, visits to friends and relatives and air cargo services, while direct flights cut travel time compared with indirect flights, especially for Syrians living in the UAE and the Gulf states.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said the airline has recorded strong demand for travel between Syria and the UAE since it began flights to Damascus, noting that adding Aleppo gives travelers wider options during the summer travel season.
flydubai began daily flights between Dubai and Damascus on 1 June 2025, before increasing its flights to the Syrian capital to 3 a day as demand grew.
The airline recently added Benghazi in Libya and Bangkok in Thailand to its network, and is set to start flights to Pokhara in Nepal from 23 September 2026.
