Beirut Airport Travelers Drop 9% in July
Beirut Rafiq Hariri International Airport experienced a 9% decline in passenger traffic in July 2026 compared to the same month in 2025. Despite a decrease of between 30% and 35% from June 2026 to June 2025, part of this decline was offset during July. August, which marks the peak of the tourist season, is expected to see traffic levels return to those of 2025. However, the overall summer season is projected to be down by about 33% compared to the previous year, with approximately 75% of arriving travelers being Lebanese expatriates and refugees. Tourism from Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan remains below previous levels, influenced by rising ticket prices, which impact tourist spending, as well as the decreased purchasing power of expatriates.
