Syrian Air (Arabic: السورية, operating as SyrianAir) is the flag carrier of Syria. It primarily operates in the Middle East, though the airline had operated scheduled international services to several destinations in Asia, Europe and Africa prior to the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war, previously serving over 50 destinations worldwide. Its main bases are Damascus International Airport, alongside formerly Aleppo International Airport. The company has its head office in the Social Insurance Building in Damascus.
