Syrian Arab Airlines (SyrianAir) was established during the autumn of 1946, with its first internal and external flights carried out using helicopters. With the dawn of the Syrian Revolution, which took place on the 8th of May 1963, SyrianAir had joined the jet age by acquiring four Super-Caravel jet-engine planes. The company has deployed local offices around Syria to cover most of the governorates. SyrianAir currently has regional offices in Homs - Hama - Aleppo - Deir Al-Zor - Quamishly - Tartous - Latakia - Daraa - Soueidaa. As for Damascus, the company maintains four offices with continuous expansion plans.
