Syrian Arabian (الخطوط العربية السورية) - Airbus A320-200

The flag carrier of Syria, pictured here with its current (2004 - now) livery.


The golden years of Syrian Arabian were supposed to start with an order for 10 A319-100, 15 A320-200, 10 A321-200 and 5 A330-200 aircraft in late 2009, however, with only 5 A320's delivered the rest of the order was scrapped because of the start of the Syrian Civil War. Having found itself in an situation where it was unable to directly acquire new aircraft and replacement parts for its aircraft, Syrian Arabian set up several shell companies in other Arab countries as a way to at least keep its remaining fleet active. With the situation slowly going back to normal, Syrian Arabian signed a letter of intention with Sukhoi for the purchase of 10 SSJ-100LR aircraft and is expected to also sign an letter of intention for the purchase of Irkut MC-21 or COMAC C919 aircraft.
