The route operates under flydubai’s codeshare with Emirates, giving passengers access to onward connections across both carriers’ networks on a single ticket with through-checked baggage. The airline currently operates three daily flights to Damascus.

Aleppo is Syria’s second-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, historically significant as a trading centre on the Silk Road. Its landmarks include the Aleppo Citadel and the Al-Madina Souq, among the world’s largest covered markets.
