Lebanon Begins Renovation of Al-Qulayaat Airport
Lebanon has launched the rehabilitation of Al-Qulaytah Airport, located in Akkar Governorate near the Syrian border, in preparation for its operation within weeks, after more than fifty years of promises and delays. It is expected that the airport will begin actual operations in the coming weeks, with plans to expand later to increase destinations to Saudi Arabia, Cairo, and Athens, initially welcoming 114,000 travelers in the first year, with the target rising to over 600,000 within four years. The airport, which dates back to the 1930s when it was established by the French Army, was previously a military base and was subjected to Israeli shelling in past wars. It will also create job opportunities for Akkar, a region suffering from poverty.
