Cham Wings Airlines is a Syrian business entity which is owned by Muhammad Issam Shammout. Also, Cham Wings uses its flights to engage in the transfer of Syrian mercenaries, arms trade, narcotics trafficking, and money laundering, which supports the activities of the former al-Assad regime. As the only private airline in Syria, Cham Wings is therefore benefiting from, and providing support to the former al-Assad regime.

(also AL-SHAM WINGS, CHAM WINGS, SHAM WING AIRLINES, AJNEHAT AL SHAM)
