Syria’s General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport said on Sunday that flights at Aleppo International Airport are expected to resume on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, after a temporary halt earlier this month.
The announcement was made by Omar Hosari, head of the authority, in a public statement posted on X. He said air traffic will restart according to the approved flight schedule, indicating a return to regular airport operations and planned timetables.
The reopening follows a short period of disruption that affected Aleppo’s air connections. A timeline of the earlier interruption and official flight suspension notices was covered in our previous update.
In the same statement, Hosari said the coming phase will include continued attention on the airport, with work aimed at developing services and improving the overall travel experience. The language suggests a focus not only on reopening, but also on restoring routine operations and passenger-facing services.
International reporting described the decision as part of efforts to restore normal air traffic to Aleppo following recent security-related developments in the area. While the airport’s return to service is a significant operational step, travel schedules can take a short time to fully normalize after any suspension, especially as airlines, ground handling teams, and airport services synchronize operations.
Aleppo International Airport is one of Syria’s key domestic and international gateways. The resumption of flights is therefore closely watched by travelers, airlines, and tourism operators, particularly those planning arrivals or connections through northern Syria.
Further official updates are expected to follow through aviation channels as the restart takes effect.
