CMA CGM has secured an agreement to develop and manage cargo operations at Damascus International Airport, expanding its logistics footprint in Syria and strengthening its presence in the Middle East. The deal is expected to enhance the airport’s air cargo capabilities and support the country’s efforts to restore trade and logistics infrastructure.
Under the agreement, CMA CGM will work to modernise cargo handling facilities, improve operational efficiency and streamline freight movement through the airport. The project aims to facilitate faster processing of imports and exports while improving connectivity with regional and international supply chains.
The cargo initiative complements CMA CGM’s broader strategy of integrating maritime, air freight and inland logistics services to provide end-to-end transport solutions. It also reflects the company’s continued investment in strategic logistics assets across key global markets.
The agreement is expected to support economic activity by improving cargo capacity, attracting additional freight traffic and strengthening Syria’s role in regional trade as infrastructure development progresses.
