Lufthansa, Swiss Air extend suspension of Beirut flights to Nov 30
German airline group Lufthansa said Tuesday it had extended its suspension of flights to Beirut and Tel Aviv, citing "the current situation in the Middle East".
Flights to Beirut will now be suspended up to and including November 30, while those to Tel Aviv will be cancelled until October 31, the group said in a statement. Flights to Tehran remain cancelled until October 14. "We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers," it added.
Following the example of its parent company Lufthansa, Swiss Air said it would also suspend flights to and from Beirut through November 30 and to and from Tel Aviv through October 31, adding that this measure "is intended to provide more predictability for both our passengers and our crews".
