Lebanese authorities start safety checks on Middle East Airlines
The Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority has begun an audit of Middle East Airlines' safety after pilots voiced concerns about being forced to fly near bombing sites and being punished for reporting safety incidents. The investigation is focusing on the company's ongoing operation, which owns a fleet of around 20 aircraft, amid war and regional conflicts, despite the dangers of flying in conflict zones. These audits come amid escalating Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon and increasing fears over aviation safety in the region.
