Emirates Airlines announced on Tuesday that it would extend the suspension of its flights to and from Beirut and Baghdad until January 31, 2025.
The airline had initially planned to resume operations in mid-January, following the start of a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in early December.
In a statement, Emirates confirmed: "The extension of the cancellation of all flights to and from Beirut and Baghdad until January 31, 2025," citing ongoing concerns about regional stability.
Emirates is not alone in its cautious approach. Air France recently extended its suspension of flights to Beirut’s International Airport (BIA) until the end of January, while Lufthansa Group has indicated that it will not resume operations to Lebanon before early March.
