Lebanon: Officials reopen country's airspace following Iranian attack on Israel /update 1
Lebanon reopens its airspace following Iranian attack on Israel; residual flight disruptions likely.
Officials in Lebanon have reopened the country's airspace to all flights the morning of April 14. The airspace was temporarily closed overnight April 13-14 following a major Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel and associated GPS disruptions affecting parts of the region. Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY) has reportedly resumed commercial flights. Further airspace closures are possible in the event of retaliatory attacks by Israel.
Residual flight disruptions are likely as airlines work to clear any backlogs that materialize.
Confirm flight reservations if scheduled to travel via a Lebanese airport or Lebanese airspace. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider making alternative arrangements for time-sensitive travel if necessary.
