Air France and its low-cost subsidiary, Transavia, declared their intention to resume flights to Beirut starting Thursday. The service had been suspended since July 29 due to heightened tensions in the Middle East.
The suspension came amid escalating regional conflict, which led the French carrier to prioritize passenger safety and comply with travel advisories. As the situation has stabilized, Air France has deemed it appropriate to resume operations in the Lebanese capital.
The decision to restart flights reflects a positive shift in the regional security situation and a renewed confidence in the safety of travel to Lebanon. Air France will operate regular flights between Paris and Beirut, while Transavia will offer affordable options for travelers seeking to return to or visit the city.
This move is expected to boost connectivity between France and Lebanon, supporting both tourism and business exchanges. The resumption also aligns with Air France’s broader strategy to restore its network in regions where stability has returned.
Air France and Transavia have assured passengers of their commitment to maintaining high safety standards and are prepared to provide support as needed during this period.
The restoration of flights is anticipated to positively impact the local economy and strengthen ties between Lebanon and France. It also reflects a broader trend of airlines gradually resuming operations in areas that had previously experienced disruptions due to geopolitical unrest.
As airlines navigate the evolving landscape of international travel, the resumption of Air France and Transavia services to Beirut marks a significant step toward normalizing travel routes affected by recent conflicts.
