EgyptAir has two daily return flights to Syria, one to the capital Damascus and the other to the country's commercial hub Aleppo.

Wednesday morning's flight to Aleppo departed Cairo with only 20 passengers, but returned completely full, a Cairo airport source told German news agency DPA.

Syrian rebels have been battling the army of president Bashar Al-Assad in Aleppo since late July.
