History

Deir ez-Zor Airport was established by the British during World War II as LG-416.

Before the war in Syria, airlines like Jazeera Airways or Syrian Air flew to destinations such as Damascus, Aleppo, Bahrain or Kuwait.

On October 15, 2012, there were heavy shelling by artillery and missiles on the city from the Airport. On 24 November 2012, rebels were surrounding the airport.[3] During the night of 6 December 2014, ISIS took control over the missiles battalion to the northeast of the airport and tried to storm the airbase itself,[4] but failed.

On 5 September 2017, the Tiger Forces and the 17th Division troops started an offensive[5] to eventually capture Thardeh Mountains, which were captured by ISIL fighters after CJTF-OIR forces conducted the September 2016 Deir ez-Zor air raid upon then-besieged Syrian Army soldiers and thus lift the siege of the airport imposed by ISIL since then.[6] On 9 September 2017, SANA reported that Syrian forces had broken the siege of the Airport.[7][8] Russia's Defense Ministry said the lifting of the siege had followed ″a massive air strike by the Russian Aerospace Forces″.[7]

Facilities

The airport is at an elevation of 700 feet (213 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designated 10/28 measuring 3,000 by 45 metres (9,843 ft × 148 ft).[1]

Airlines and destinations

As of June 2022, there are no regular flights scheduled to or from the airport.
