Syria’s first private international carrier Cham Wings Airlines said it is considering expanding its fleet by adding a passenger aircraft and a private jet, the official Syrian Arab News Agency SANA reported on Tuesday.

Cham Wings Airlines aims to shore up its presence on the local air transport market where more than 40 Arab and international companies are currently operating, the news agency reports citing Issam Shammout, the airline’s chairman.

Shammout said according to SANA his company plans to set up an aircraft maintenance center at the Damascus International Airport.

Cham Wings Airlines started operations about a year ago and has operated flights to Baghdad, Sharm el- Sheikh, Jeddah and the two Turkish cities of Istanbul and Antalya, the news agency said.
