Cham Wings Airlines

Cham Wings Airlines (Arabic: أجنحة الشام للطيران, previously known as Sham Wing Airlines) was a private Syrian airline, with its head office located in Damascus, Syria. The company slogan was Fly Beyond The Limits. Cham Wings Airline and its owner Issam Shammout were under US and European Union sanctions for alleged involvement in flying mercenaries to Libya, illegal migrants to Belarus, and transporting weapons and trafficking Captagon. After the fall of Assad regime, Shammout entered into a settlement with the new Syrian state by giving up his share of the company, paying $50 million, and transferring two A320s aircraft to state-owned Syrian Air in exchange for immunity from state prosecution. The airline remaining assets, including three remaining A320s, were purchased by a Syrian-Emirati joint venture on June 5 2025, which subsequently rebranded and launched a new airline, Fly Cham, following regulatory approval.
