Qamishli International Airport guide

Qamishli International Airport (KAC, ICAO OSKL) lies a few kilometres southwest of Qamishli, in the Jazira region of northeastern Syria close to the Turkish border. The airfield sits at 450 m above sea level and has one asphalt runway, 03/21, measuring 3,615 m by 46 m.

The Government of Syria owns the airport, and the General Authority of Civil Aviation operates it. Syrian Air and Cham Wings flew scheduled services from Damascus, Latakia and Beirut until November 2024, and seasonal charters connected the city with Germany and Sweden.

The airport closed to civilians around October 2015 and later reopened. After regular service ended in late 2024 it served as a Russian military outpost until Russian troops withdrew in January 2026. On 21 February 2026 the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority took over its management, and officials began preparing it for civilian flights again. Check with the airline before travelling, as scheduled service may not yet be running.
