Middle East Airlines to maintain regular flights to Turkey

MEA chairman Mohammad Hout denied media reports claiming that the airlines company has sent an airplane to Turkey to transport Lebanese citizens back home due to continuous harrassments following the abduction of two Turkish pilots in Beirut.

Labeling the said reports as "baseless", Hout stressed that the Middle East Airlines will continue to carry out daily, regular flights to Turkey.

Director of Civil Aviation Daniel al-Haiby also denied the before mentioned reports, adding that the Turkish Airlines is also intending to maintain its regular flights to Beirut.
