Lebanon Debate
Lebanese firms challenge airport investment bans
Two companies, Bol Dur and Huda Chicken, have filed a nullification review before the State Council to challenge the Lebanese Cabinet's decision that prohibited the construction and operation of farms and slaughterhouses within a five-kilometer radius of Beirut's Rafiq Hariri International Airport. The appeal argues that the decision was made without an impact assessment from experts and without considering its effects on hundreds of workers and their families, despite both companies adhering to health and environmental standards and possessing ISO 22000 certification. This comes as part of the government's measures to ensure aviation safety and reduce the risk of bird strikes, which have included closing facilities within the designated zone, in coordination with local and security authorities.
