Qatar Airways is spearheading a new era of Middle Eastern connectivity with the return of services to Aleppo, Syria, from 10 August 2025. As well as being a historic moment for the airline, this strategic move reinforces the region’s aviation connectivity, giving travellers unprecedented access to global destinations. With the return of services to Aleppo, Qatar Airways is expanding its regional coverage while expanding its penetration across continents, further entrenching itself as a powerhouse of global air travel. Its enhanced flight frequency, which is being expanded from three to four times a week from 1 September 2025, is a reflection of a commitment to meet growing demand and enable effortless international connectivity.
Qatar Airways is marking a major achievement towards greater interconnectivity globally, more so from the Middle East to other parts of the world. Starting from 10 August 2025, the carrier will reinstate operations to Aleppo, Syria, which is a major breakthrough for the region’s travel network. Three weekly frequencies to the capital will be offered initially, with a later ramp-up of the frequency to four weekly frequencies from 1 September 2025. This breakthrough is part of Qatar Airways’ ongoing strategy of increasing reach globally and deepening base operations from the Middle East.
A New Chapter for Syrian Connectivity
Qatar Airways service to Syria began way back in 2011 when it first introduced Aleppo services, which provided travellers with direct access to the city. Due to the changing geopolitical situation, the carrier was, however, forced to suspend service to Syria. Flight resumption to Aleppo reflects Qatar Airways’ new-found interest in the region and customers. In early 2025, the carrier re-established services to Damascus, with Aleppo being the second Syrian city readded to the international network. This re-addition forms a new chapter for the carrier’s attempts to increase connectivity between Syria and the rest of the world, with Qatar Airways being a central player in this new global connection.
Qatar Airways Flights to Aleppo (ALP)
Qatar Airways will restore three weekly flights to Aleppo from 10 August.
The flight plan is below:
Doha (DOH) to Aleppo (ALP) – Flight QR414: Departs at 08:30, arrives at 11:40
Aleppo (ALP) to Doha (DOH) – Flight QR415: Departs at 13:55, arrives at 17:00
From 1 September, the flight frequency will be increased to four weekly.
These new timings will be:
Doha (DOH) to Aleppo (ALP) – Flight QR414: Departs at 08:30, arrives at 11:40
Aleppo (ALP) to Doha (DOH) – Flight QR415: Departs at 13:55, arrives at 17:00
There will be a flight every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Monday.
This additional frequency is a response to expanding market demand for travel between Qatar and Syria, together with inter-regional travel between the broader Middle East. Qatar Airways solidifies its commitment to giving customers convenient, effective airborne travel options through the new route from Aleppo, which joins Qatar Airways’ broad route list of more than 170 destinations worldwide.
An Important Move towards Strengthening Regional, International Ties
Qatar Airways’ return to Aleppo is more than a reinstatement of a former route, but more of a broader initiative to increase regional connectivity and further integrate Syria into the global travel network. Qatar Airways remains reliant on its award-winning hub at Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha, which provides a central connection point for customers travelling towards and from more than 170 destinations around the world.
Aleppo’s reinstatement to the Qatar Airways network is a demonstration of the company’s leadership in global connectivity. These resumed flights will offer a vital connection for leisure and business travelers seeking to visit the area or gain access to destinations around the world. For passengers originating from Aleppo, the direct service to Hamad International Airport gives convenient access to many destinations in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
