Lebanon Airlines: The Only Commercial Airline Still Operating in Beirut, Lebanon Faces Danger from Israeli Airstrikes

Associated Press  

Despite the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, the Lebanon's national air carrier continues to operate, becoming a local icon by continuing to serve the city's residents. While the airline has received assurances that Israel won't target its planes or the airport, the sight of jetliners rising and descending as fire and smoke blacken the Beirut skyline can be alarming. The airline has implemented various measures to mitigate the risk, including spacing out flights, adjusting for GPS jamming, and having a dedicated fleet parked outside the country to reduce potential damage. However, the airport remains a target for Israeli strikes, highlighting the ongoing risk associated with air travel in the region.
