Eurowings, the Lufthansa subsidiary, has extended the suspension of its flights to Beirut until March 28, according to an internal message sent to the airline's agents.
Under normal circumstances, the carrier operates six weekly flights between Beirut and several European destinations, Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Stockholm.
It remains unclear whether the suspension applies solely to Lebanon or extends to other regional destinations served by Eurowings.
The move follows a broader Lufthansa Group decision announced on March 3, which had initially suspended flights to Tel Aviv, Beirut, Amman, Erbil, and Tehran until March 8. The latest extension signals that uncertainty over regional security conditions persists.
The Lebanese government has suffered a catastrophic loss of credibility. Just months ago, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam confidently announced the near-total disarmament of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and along the Israeli border, a declaration welcomed by Western capitals eager to believe the region was stepping back from the brink.
Hezbollah’s decision to enter the Middle East war in support of its patron Iran has opened a rift with its main political ally at home in Lebanon, leaving the group deeply isolated as the country lurches into another devastating conflict with Israel.
An Israeli strike on a four-storey residential building has killed at least four people and wounded six others in the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek with rescue teams working to pull families from beneath the rubble, state news agency NNA said on Wednesday.
