Following flight cancellations across the UAE throughout last month, check out the latest updates to major airline routes.
Previously, several routes to Jordan, Tel Aviv and more were affected. However, most flights have resumed now while flights to Beirut continue to remain suspended.
Emirates said in its most recent update that flights to and from Lebanon’s capital are cancelled until at least 31 December. Exceptions are being made for flydubai customers with final destinations up to Baghdad, who are being accepted for travel at the moment.
However, the airline has also cancelled flights between the UAE and Baghdad until 30 November.
Etihad Airways extended its halt of operations in Beirut until at least 1 December while AirArabia has cancelled flights until at least 31 December.
The airlines said they are continuing to monitor the situation and request customers contact their booking agents for alternative travel options.
The sole remaining airline currently flying in and out of Lebanon is MEA.
Airport traffic has reportedly dropped to 30 per cent of its pre-war average, while MEA said it is operating only slightly fewer flights than its daily average of 45. However, those flights are typically departing Beirut full and returning two-thirds empty.
In 2006, the last war between Israel and Hezbollah saw strikes almost immediately put the airport out of commission, bombing its fuel depots and runway. With the latest strikes in September, several airlines initially cancelled flights to and from Beirut.
