Syrian Airlines has launched a direct service between Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and Damascus, becoming a new carrier at the German capital’s airport.
Syria’s national airline operates the route on Tuesdays and Fridays with a 156-seat Airbus A320. The scheduled flight time from Berlin is four hours and 15 minutes.
The service follows an aviation agreement reached by Germany and Syria in mid-July. Berlin Brandenburg Airport chief executive Aletta von Massenbach said the route would offer more travel options for people in Berlin and Brandenburg with family, cultural or business ties to Syria.
