Turkish Airlines to restart Damascus, Beirut, Amman flights on May 1
Flag carrier resumes services to three Middle Eastern capitals after two-month suspension due to airspace security concerns from the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Turkish Airlines announced that it will resume scheduled flights to Damascus, Beirut, and Amman starting May 1, following a two-month suspension caused by regional airspace closures.
Routes suspended since February 28
In a notice posted on its official website, the flag carrier confirmed that services to the capitals of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan would restart at the beginning of May. The routes had been halted since February 28, when US and Israeli military strikes on Iran triggered widespread airspace disruptions across the Middle East, forcing many international carriers to reroute or cancel flights.
Restoring regional connectivity
The resumption covers three key destinations: Damascus (Syria), Beirut (Lebanon), and Amman (Jordan). Turkish Airlines had previously suspended operations to these cities as a precautionary measure amid escalating tensions and missile exchanges in the region. With the April 8 ceasefire and subsequent truce extensions, airspace security has gradually improved, allowing the carrier to reinstate normal schedules.
