Flydubai to resume Beirut flights on April 18

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, following a suspension triggered by the war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28.

The Dubai-based low-cost carrier becomes the fourth major airline to announce its return to the Lebanese capital, joining Royal Jordanian, Qatar Airways and Iraqi Airways — the latter also set to resume operations on April 18.

The simultaneous return of multiple carriers on the same date sends a clear signal: confidence in Beirut's aviation sector is returning, and the Lebanese capital is once again open for business.
