Aleppo International Airport guide

Aleppo International Airport (ICAO: OSAP) lies east of Aleppo, in northern Syria. It has a single asphalt runway, 09/27, which is 3,110 metres long. The passenger terminal opened in 1999 and covers 38,000 square metres over four floors, with a stated capacity of 1.7 million passengers a year.

Commercial flights stopped in 2012 during the Syrian civil war. The airport reopened briefly in 2014, saw a government trial flight in 2017, and resumed civilian service from Damascus in February 2020. Israeli strikes damaged the runway in September 2022 and put the airport out of service, and more strikes followed through 2023. The airport fell to opposition forces in late 2024, and the terminal was refurbished with Qatari assistance. Passenger flights restarted on 18 March 2025.

Traffic is rebuilding from a low base. The airport handled 226,260 passengers in 2025. Published schedules for the week of 14 September 2026 listed 14 airlines, 22 routes and 77 departures. Syrian Air, Fly Cham and Flynas connect it to Gulf and Turkish destinations, with some services to Europe. In 2026 Syria's civil aviation authority agreed an upgrade plan with a Saudi investment fund, with works due to begin in early 2027.
