The United States warns citizens against travel to Syria and recommends that those in Syria depart immediately. The United States advised the Government of Syria that it has suspended all embassy operations effective 6 February 2012, given ongoing violence and a deteriorating security situation. All official U.S. embassy personnel and their family members have departed.

Wings Travel Management travel consultants are contacting all their passengers who are planning to travel to Syria, and are currently assisting them with rebooking, etc. (where required) as well as general support.

Wings Travel Management knows that sometimes even the most routine trip can pose unexpected challenges. That’s why Wings has developed goProducts, a suite of tools to help you handle every possible hindrance to the perfect trip, with ease. Take our goText, for example. This ingenious tool allows you to stay in contact with your traveller or travel booker, sharing vital itinerary details that can make or break a business trip. Flight changes, transfer details, car booking, hotel confirmation, you name it, are all delivered to the traveller’s mobile within four hours of departure.

Each individual traveller can sign-up for this service by activating this option under the Subscriptions tab on their personalised goProfile.
