PM Salam departs to Munich via main terminal, skips VIP lounge

Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam departed for Munich from the airport’s main passenger terminal rather than the VIP lounge, in a move that drew attention for breaking with common protocol for senior officials.

Salam was seen leaving through the regular departures area alongside other travelers, instead of using the airport’s official salon typically reserved for high-ranking state figures.
