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.
A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel went into effect on Thursday and President Donald Trump said the next meeting between the United States and Iran may take place over the weekend, adding to optimism that the Iran war could be nearing an end.
Lebanon’s president will not speak to Israel’s prime minister in the near future, Lebanese officials said on Thursday, dealing a blow to U.S. efforts to expand contacts between the enemy states as Pakistan said peace in Lebanon was vital to ending the Iran war.
The gradual return of normalcy to Lebanon is gaining momentum. Flydubai, Dubai's second largest carrier after Emirates, has announced the resumption of its flights to Beirut on April 18.
