Al-Dumayr Military Airport is a Syrian Arab Air Force installation located 40 kilometers north-east of Damascus, Syria.[1]

The airbase was used extensively by the Syrian Arab Air Forces and Iranian Armed Forces during the Syrian Civil War.

History

The base is used to support the army campaign on Eastern Ghouta. On February 22, 2018, Jaysh al-Islam bombed the airbase in an effort to weaken Syrian attacks on the rebel held enclave.
