Syrian Air is preparing to resume regular flights to Europe after more than a decade away from the EU market, with Amsterdam set to be its first destination.

The carrier plans to launch services between Damascus and the Dutch capital in early July, marking a return to European scheduled operations after a long absence.

The move would restore a direct link between Syria and one of Europe’s major aviation hubs, although no further route details have been confirmed in the source text.

Syrian Air had been absent from the European Union aviation market for more than 10 years. Its planned return comes as airlines continue to adjust networks in response to changing demand, political conditions and operational restrictions across the region.

Amsterdam is expected to be the first stop in the airline’s Europe comeback, which could be significant for passengers seeking connections to and from Syria. The planned route would also give Syrian Air a presence again in a market it had not served regularly for over a decade.

Regular flights to Europe could carry practical importance for business travellers, families and others with ties between Syria and the continent. For now, the airline’s announcement centres on a single route rather than a wider network relaunch.

Syrian Air’s planned move follows a period in which many Middle Eastern carriers have reshaped their schedules to rebuild international traffic. A return to Amsterdam would place the airline back into one of the busiest aviation regions in Europe.
