Flydubai Aleppo flights to resume daily services from July 20, 2026
Flydubai resumes daily Aleppo flights from July 20, 2026, restoring direct UAE–Syria links with codeshare access via Emirates; fares from AED 1,800 now.
Flydubai will resume and expand services to Syria by launching daily flights to Aleppo Airport starting July 20, 2026. The move marks Aleppo as the carrier’s second Syrian destination after Damascus, and the announcement confirms the airline’s intent to restore regular air links after a long suspension. The relaunch, scheduled from Terminal 3 at Dubai International, is positioned to serve passenger demand and strengthen commercial and family ties between the UAE and Syria.
Flight schedule and operations
Flights to Aleppo will operate daily from Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3 beginning July 20, 2026. The services are part of flydubai’s network expansion into underserved markets and will be flown on the carrier’s modern narrow-body fleet. Tickets for the new route will be offered in both business and economy cabins, with onward connections available across the airline’s broader network.
Fares and booking details
Flydubai reported round‑trip business class fares from Dubai to Aleppo starting at AED 8,000, while basic economy return fares begin at AED 1,800. The carrier also published equivalent fares for travel from Aleppo to Dubai, with business class from USD 2,000 and basic economy from USD 470. Passengers are advised to review fare conditions at booking, and to check baggage allowances and change policies when purchasing tickets.
Executive statements and strategic intent
Gaith Al Ghaith, flydubai’s Chief Executive, described the Aleppo launch as a major milestone after more than 14 years without scheduled services to the city. He said the daily link will support Dubai’s role as a global aviation hub while meeting growing demand for direct travel between the UAE and Syria. Hamad Obeidallah, Chief Commercial Operations Officer, added that strong uptake on the Damascus route since June 1, 2025, informed the decision to restore services to Aleppo and broaden passenger choice ahead of the peak summer travel period.
Onboard product and cargo capabilities
Passengers on Aleppo services will have access to flydubai’s current onboard offerings, including fully flat beds in business class and ergonomically designed seats in economy. The carrier highlighted its inflight entertainment systems and a dining program reflecting international cuisines as part of the passenger experience. In addition to passenger services, flydubai emphasized enhanced air cargo capabilities on the route to support bilateral trade and freight flows between the UAE and Syria.
Network growth and recent additions
The Aleppo reinstatement follows a period of accelerated network growth for flydubai, which introduced daily services to Damascus on June 1, 2025 and later increased frequencies on that route to three daily flights. The airline has also recently added Benghazi in Libya and Bangkok in Thailand to its route map, and it has announced plans to commence flights to Pokhara, Nepal, from September 23, 2026. These additions form part of a broader strategy to expand into markets with rising demand for direct connectivity.
Codeshare integration with Emirates
Direct services to Aleppo will operate within a codeshare framework with Emirates, allowing passengers to book on a single ticket and receive through‑check of baggage to their final destination. The codeshare arrangement is intended to streamline connections for travellers and to extend access to both carriers’ destination networks. Operationally, the partnership offers a combined product that integrates schedules and ground handling for a smoother passenger journey.
The relaunch of daily flydubai services to Aleppo on July 20, 2026, represents a clear step in the carrier’s regional expansion strategy and its aim to reconnect Dubai with underserved markets. Travelers planning trips between the UAE and Syria should monitor official airline channels for final schedules, fare availability, and travel requirements as the launch date approaches.
