Beirut Airport operations continue amid rumors of closure

Amid numerous rumors suggesting a potential closure of Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport, there is no truth to these claims.

The airport remains operational, accommodating both departing and arriving passengers, although it is functioning at reduced capacity.

The situation has arisen as many airlines have suspended flights, placing additional pressure on Middle East Airlines (MEA).
