Deir ez-Zor Airport — Deir ez-Zor, Syria

Deir ez-Zor Airport, coded DEZ, serves the city of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria along the Euphrates River, a region that has experienced severe conflict and disruption during the Syrian civil war. The airport has functioned largely as a military and humanitarian logistics facility in recent years rather than a conventional commercial airport, given the security situation in the surrounding province, which has seen fighting involving Syrian government forces, opposition groups, and other actors. Historically, before the conflict, DEZ supported limited domestic Syrian air travel connecting the city to Damascus. Its current operational status has fluctuated considerably, and regular commercial passenger service has been effectively suspended for extended periods amid the ongoing instability in the region.
