Syrian Airlines (Arabic: السورية للطيران), operating as SyrianAir (Arabic: السورية), is the flag carrier of Syria. It operates scheduled international services to several destinations in Asia, Europe and Africa, though the number of flights operated has seriously declined since 2011 due to the Arab Spring and subsequent Syrian war. SyrianAir previously served over 50 destinations worldwide. Its main bases are Damascus International Airport and previously Aleppo International Airport. The company has its head office on the fifth floor of the Social Insurance Building in Damascus.
