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.
