Al Jazeera launches its third destination in Syria with two weekly flights to Deir ez-Zor

Jazeera Airways, today, the leading low-cost carrier in Kuwait, announced the launch of direct flights to the city of Deir ez-Zor in Syria, furthering its rapid expansion in the Syrian market and reinforcing its position as the fastest-growing airline on the Kuwait-Syria travel route.

This route launch follows the company’s success in resuming flights to Damascus in July 2025 and launching flights to Aleppo in June 2026. Jazeera Airways will begin operating two weekly flights to Deir ez-Zor starting August 8. It will also soon increase its daily flights to Damascus from three to four, while continuing to operate three weekly flights to Aleppo.

Tameem Al-Madani, Chargé d’Affaires of the Syrian Arab Republic Embassy in Kuwait, said: “We welcome Jazeera Airways’ step to continue expanding its services in Syria and launching direct flights to Deir ez-Zor. This, along with the increase in flights to Damascus and the continuation of flights to Aleppo, will help strengthen the historical ties between Syria and Kuwait by facilitating travel for families, businesspeople, and tourists. We also appreciate Jazeera’s continued confidence in the Syrian market and its role in enhancing air connectivity between our two countries.”

With the new Deir ez-Zor route, Jazeera Airways has become the only airline offering direct flights from Kuwait to three Syrian cities, operating 26 weekly flights between Kuwait and Syria, thus providing the highest number of flights between the two countries. Since resuming flights to Damascus last year and launching flights to Aleppo earlier this year, Jazeera Airways has carried more than 100,000 passengers across its Syrian destination network.

Paul Carroll, Head of Commercial at Jazeera Airways, said: “The launch of Deir ez-Zor flights represents an extension of our strategy to build the largest network serving Syria. In just one year, we have expanded from serving one destination to connecting Kuwait with three Syrian cities, carrying more than 100,000 passengers, while increasing operational capacity in response to strong customer demand.”
