Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamiye asserted that Beirut International Airport (BIA) “continues to function normally” and that Middle East Airlines (MEA) is “still operating.”
In a press conference on Wednesday, he estimated the number of departures and arrivals at BIA to be in the “thousands,” stating that “no activity involving the evacuation of nationals via the airport has been detected.”
“Embassies will always have the option to do so,” he added, noting that while some airlines have suspended their flights, “these decisions are theirs alone.”
