Trump removes Lebanon flight ban after 41 years
The lifting of U.S. restrictions on flights between the United States and Lebanon aims to resume direct flights and is considered an important step to strengthen communication between the two countries and energize air travel. President Trump announced in July the removal of regulatory barriers that had imposed restrictions on flights to Lebanon since 1985, following the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in Beirut. However, restarting flights requires a security review of Beirut Airport to ensure it meets safety standards, and these procedures are expected to take some time before actual implementation. Meanwhile, southern Lebanon is experiencing an escalation of Israeli military activity, with airstrikes and shelling targeting various areas. Hezbollah has confirmed that Israel will not stay in the region, and there are warnings about the security situation becoming more complicated as tensions between the parties continue.
