L'interesse è da Abu Dhabi come confermato da Johan Eidhagen.

Come avevo detto nel post di apertura la comunità siriana in UAE è grande, circa 280.000 persone secondo gli ultimi dati reperibili. Comunità comunque relativamente piccole rispetto a quelle turche o tedesche. Per avere una idea, anche in Svezia o Canada ci sono piu o meno 200.000 siriani.
C'è comunque da distinguere tra siriani rifugiati e siriani emigrati...i primi dubito che possano pensare di fare una valigia, andare in aeroporto e prendere un aereo...i secondi invece, un misto tra quelli che prima della guerra erano già via e quelli che invece sono scappati in condizioni economiche ancora buone, sono il mercato di riferimento.
Emirates has returned to Damascus, putting the “City of Jasmine” back on its expansive network of Middle East destinations. Emirates commenced services to Damascus in 1988, and prior to suspending operations in 2012 the airline carried over 2.1 million passengers in and out of Syria.
Flight EK913 arrived at 2:30 pm with 286 passengers on-board and was celebrated upon arrival at Damascus International Airport, greeted with a water cannon salute.
Emirates’ services to Damascus will initially operate 3 times per week, on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, with plans to increase services to four-weekly from 2 August with an additional flight on Saturday. Emirates will expand its services to Damascus to daily operations effective 26 October.
Emirates customers flying to and from Damascus will also benefit from the airline’s codeshare partnership with flydubai, which will complement its flight schedule and network, providing more options and convenience when flying in and out of the Syrian capital.
The Emirates Boeing 777-200LR aircraft operating to and from Damascus features 38 Business Class seats alongside 264 seats in Economy Class. Emirates Business Class on the Damascus service will feature a 2-2-2 configuration. Travellers flying to and from Damascus with Emirates can enjoy the best experience in the sky with an unmatched culinary experience, including mezze appetisers followed by local and international dishes to choose from. Emirates’ in-flight dining is prepared by a team of chefs from all over the world, including Syrian hands. Emirates’ signature mezze is prepared from a diverse spread of quality ingredients, many of which are Syrian products including tahini paste, red pepper paste and olive oil.
The airline currently flies to 14 cities in the Middle East / GCC, serving the region with a total of 194 weekly flights.

Comunque a damasco volava già da un mesetto Flydubai (tra ovvie cancellazioni ogni volta che scappa(va) una bombetta) che di EK é la cugina di primo grado, se non la sorella minore
Ripesco questo thread perché nonostante la situazione in medio oriente, il traffico su Damasco continua lentamente ma visibilmente a crescere. Syrian ha riaperto i collegamenti diretti con Amsterdam, Vienna e Copenaghen e Francoforte dovrebbe essere la prossima.
Nel frattempo è stata presentata anche la nuova brand identity sul nuovo A320 YK-AKJ: verde scuro e oro, con la fenice sulla coda e sui motori. Un altro piccolo segnale del tentativo di rimettere in piedi compagnia e connettività internazionale della Siria.
Tra le altre cose livrea a mio parere azzeccatissima.

Mi sembra non serva più il visto per entrare nel Paese, e anche essere accompagnati da una guida per spostarsi all’interno della nazione non è più necessario. Dan Air vola inoltre da Bucharest ad Aleppo. Qualche segnale di riapertura c’è.
Da un'amica che lavora in Heston Airlines, confermo che il mercato è frizzante e Syrian ricorrerà anche a loro (tramite ACMI) per crescere.
E a conferma che la Siria sta tentando di tornare nel panorama internazionale, anche sul piano dell'aviazione, Aegean apre Damasco da Atene.
A partire dal 2 dicembre

| 7 October 2026 Etihad increases Damascus to a daily service as demand grows Daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Damascus from 14 November 2026 Abu Dhabi, UAE – Etihad Airways will operate a daily service to Damascus from 14 November 2026, increasing the route from four to seven weekly flights. Since its inaugural flight in June, the route has established itself as an important link between the UAE and Syria, serving families, business travellers and guests continuing across Etihad’s network. The move to a daily schedule offers each of them considerably greater choice in when they travel. Many Syrians have built their careers and raised their families in the UAE. For them, a daily service means a journey home can be planned around a family occasion or a long weekend. Arik De, Etihad Airways Chief Revenue & Commercial Officer, said: “Damascus has been an important addition to our network, and a daily service is the natural next step. It brings the Syrian capital within easy reach of our guests in the UAE, and places Damascus just one stop from the many destinations we serve beyond Abu Dhabi.” From Abu Dhabi, guests travelling from Syria can continue onward with Etihad to destinations across the Gulf, Asia and North America, including Toronto and Calgary, Etihad’s newest destination in North America, as well as New York, Charlotte, Muscat and Malé. The UAE capital rewards those who stay, from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque to the museums of the Saadiyat Cultural District and the beaches of the Arabian Gulf, with Etihad’s Stopover programme making an extended visit effortless. For guests travelling in the other direction, the daily service brings Damascus closer than ever. For centuries a crossroads of trade, scholarship and faith, the Syrian capital is home to a walled Old City and the Umayyad Mosque, among the most revered landmarks in the Arab world.

Anche ITA con i 321 potrebbe aprire la rotta? Anche se ai tempi di Alitalia aspirava molto bene dal Libano.E a conferma che la Siria sta tentando di tornare nel panorama internazionale, anche sul piano dell'aviazione, Aegean apre Damasco da Atene.

Mi pare che Damasco fosse una storica rotta per AZ, servita fino a prima della guerra civile.
Immagino sia una di quelle rotte sotto osservazione, anche se presumo sia più probabile un ritorno su Beirut prima dell'apertura su Damasco.
In ogni caso, si stima che in Europa vivano 1.5 milioni di rifugiati siriani, prevalentemente in Germania e a seguire in Svezia. Non va poi dimenticato che un numero molto consistente di siriani (e anche libanesi) emigrò in Sud America, in particolare in Brasile e Argentina, mercati in cui AZ ha un peso importante. Non ho però idea di quale rapporto ci sia tra questi siriani nell'America Latina e la loro terra d'origine.
L’inizio del thread parla proprio di questo. La rotta secondo me ha potenziale per ITA all’interno del gruppo LH.
