In the midst of a possible Israeli attack against her Hezbollah in Lebanon, Middle East Airlines, based in Beirut, announced that it would suspend some flights from Sunday night to Monday morning, without giving a reason.
Six flights were affected, according to a statement posted online.
All are scheduled to arrive at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri Airport, Lebanon’s only operational commercial airport, which has so far not announced any changes to its operations.
The airport was hit by Israel in the 2006 war against Hezbollah and remained closed for a month.
Since the cross-border attacks began last October, several airlines have changed routes to and from the airport as countries around the world warn their citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon, with some urging citizens to leave the country until options are still available.
