Plane hijacking to sanctions lift
After 41 years of the United States imposing a ban on direct flights to Beirut since 1985, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his administration will now allow all American airlines to operate direct flights to Lebanon. The ban was put in place after the hijacking of a TWA plane in June 1985, which was associated with political and security demands, leading to negotiations and mediations, with the tragic death of an American passenger onboard and interference from various militias. Over the past decades, flights between Lebanon and the United States have suffered from restrictions, forcing travelers to rely on indirect routes. Now, direct flights will resume, easing the burden on travelers and saving time, according to the U.S. government's decision.
