Emirates, Qatar Airways, Air France and Lufthansa among carriers pausing services to and from Beirut
International airlines have suspended more flights to Lebanon amid an Israeli bombardment that authorities said had killed almost 560 people since Monday.
The United Arab Emirates-based airline Emirates announced the temporary suspension of its flights to Beirut on Tuesday and Wednesday. Its sister airline flydubai also cancelled flights to Beirut on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Emirates said in a statement: “The safety of our crew and customers is of utmost importance and will not be compromised.”
Qatar Airways, which operates two flights a day to the Lebanese capital, also cancelled services for two days.
