Airlines have been cancelling flights out of Beirut & Tel Aviv amid the continued tensions in the region.
Furthermore, this comes at the same time that global governments are encouraging nationals to leave Lebanon.
Below is what we know on this so far…
Which Airlines Have Cancelled Flights out of Beirut & Tel Aviv?
A lot of airlines have been cancelling flights out Beirut and Tel Aviv.
The likes of Aegean, LOT, ITA Airways, KLM, Wizz Air and Qatar Airways are amongst the list of airlines cancelling flights.
Moreover, we can expect to see more flights cancelled out of Beirut over the next few days.
Also, this comes following global governments issuing advice to their nationals to leave while you still can.
In the UK, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the following on this:
“Tensions are high, and the situation could deteriorate rapidly.”
“While we are working round the clock to strengthen our consular presence in Lebanon, my message to British nationals there is clear – leave now.”
“A widening of this conflict is in nobody’s interest – the consequences could be catastrophic.”
“That’s why we continue to call for de-escalation and a diplomatic solution.”
Israel is expecting potential attacks by Iran and it’s regional proxies in Lebanon, which is why flights to and from Beirut & Tel Aviv have been cancelled.
Furthermore, there will now be an exodus of passengers expected out of these airports to get away to safety.
