At this moment, the Romanian company is the only one in the European Union that operates direct commercial flights in Syria.
The cost of a ticket on the Bucharest – Damasc route starts from 129 euros, but as the demand increases, and the degree of loading of the aircraft is higher, this is also reflected in changing the tariff of the air ticket.
In total, between June 15 and October 25, 152 flight segments will be operated.
Also, Dan Air will connect the capital of Syria, Damascus, and with Berlin, the flights being operated in Bucharest. Flights to Berlin take place on Tuesday and Friday.
The company owns three aircraft, two 180 -seat Airbus A320 and an A319 aircraft of 144 seats.
Other international companies flying to and from Damascus are Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Royal Jordanian and Kuwait Airways.
