Fly Cham (Arabic: فلاي شام, romanized: Falāy Shām) is a private Syrian airline based in Damascus. The airline was founded by a Syrian-Emirati joint venture in May 2025 and operates from Damascus International Airport and Aleppo International Airport.
Founding
In May 2025, a group of Syrian and Emirati investors announced the founding of Fly Cham.[2] The airline was established as part of a joint investment initiative between Syria and the UAE.[3] The airline was formed from acquisition of Cham Wings Airlines, which ceased operations on 5 June 2025. Cham Wings Airlines was acquired by Emirati company Rawdat Al Reef Project Services LLC and the Syrian company Rawdat Al Reef Project Management Services LLC as a partner. The new owners launched a rebranded carrier, Fly Cham, following Syrian regulatory approval.[4]
Most of Cham Wings Airlines employees, cabin crew, and pilots maintained their similar position in the new company Fly Cham.[4]
On 11 June 2025, Fly Cham launched its inaugural flight from Damascus International Airport to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[5]
Expansion
On 28 August 2025, the airline launched five weekly flights between Damascus International Airport and Sharjah International Airport and two weekly flights between Aleppo International Airport and Sharjah International Airport.[6]
On 6 September 2025, flights to and from its first Turkish airport of Cukurova International Airport was launched. Initially planned for Tuesdays and Saturdays, flights from Damascus are available every Wednesday and Saturday and flights from Mersin to Damascus are available every Wednesday and Sunday.[7]
