ANKARA ESENBOĞA AIRPORT'S NEW ROUTE : ANKARA ESENBOĞA (ESB) TO SYRIA DAMASCUS (DAM)
The historical launch of three weekly flights between the capitals of Turkey and Syria - the first air service between the two cities in almost 30 years - was celebrated in TAV Ankara Esenboğa Airport International & Domestic Terminal by a group of dignitaries.
AnadoluJet, Turkish Airlines' low-cost subsidiary operating on its parent airline's TK code,launched its first international route on 4 March. The route will link the capitals of Turkey and Syria, Ankara Esenboğa (ESB) and Damascus (DAM), three times weekly on the airline's 737-700s. This is the first link between the two cities since Swissair dropped the route in 1983.
