Qamishli Airport[1] (Template:Langx) (Template:Comma separated entries) is an airport serving Qamishli, a city in northeastern Syria.
History
Although the airport was closed to civilians around October 2015,[1] it has been reopened again, and Syrian flight companies including Cham Wings Airlines and Syrian Air have provided regular flights into Qamishli from Damascus, Latakia and Beirut. The airport used to receive seasonal foreign flights from Germany and Sweden.[2] On 21 January 2016, Russia's activity presumably aimed at setting up a new military base in the government-controlled and mainly abandoned airport was first reported.[3][4][5]
On 7 December 2024, a day prior the fall of the Assad regime, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) took control of the airport following the withdrawal of pro-regime militants.[6] A few days later, reports emerged that Israeli airstrikes targeted weapons depots left in the facility.[7] Later that month, on 16 December, two Russian Ilyushin military transport planes withdrew from the airport.[8]
