Lebanon Airport Farms Case
The decision made by the Lebanese Council of Ministers on August 7 to prohibit the establishment and operation of farms and slaughterhouses within five kilometers of Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport comes as part of aviation safety measures aimed at reducing the risks of bird strikes on airplanes. The Ministry of Agriculture has been directed to close existing facilities within the area and to prevent the breeding or sheltering of birds, with measures also taken to facilitate the relocation of affected establishments outside the designated exclusion zone. The companies "Bull Doer" and "Hadi Chicken" have filed a review before the State Council to challenge the decision, protesting the lack of consultation with experts regarding potential damage and the impact of the decision on workers and their families, while reaffirming their commitment to health and environmental standards. The State Council will hear the review, emphasizing the importance of flight safety over the economic and social repercussions for the facilities and employees within the area.
