Emirates airline to resume flights to Beirut

Arab News: Emirates airline will resume flights to Beirut on Feb. 1 after a four-month suspension triggered by conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a statement said on Friday.

The Middle East’s biggest airline will first offer a daily return flight and scale up to two services per day from April 1, the statement said.

Emirates will also resume a daily flight to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, from Feb.1, it added.

The Dubai-based, state-owned carrier was one of several regional airlines to suspend Beirut services in late September as tensions soared between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

A truce came into effect on November 27, ending over a year of hostilities.
