Head of the “Lebanese Forces” Party, Samir Geagea, met today in Maarab with a delegation from the National Moderation bloc, which included MPs: Walid Al-Baarini, Mohammad Sleiman, Sajih Attieh and former MP Hadi Hobeish, in the presence of members of the “Strong Republic” bloc, MPs: Ghassan Hasbani, Fadi Karam, Antoine Habshi and Elie Khoury.
Following the meeting, Deputy Attieh said that the visit was to discuss reactivating the Klayaat Airport, adding that they received Geagea's "positive support and partnership in this important project, especially for the North and Akkar regions, which suffer from a lot of deprivation.”
He added that the LF Chief and fellow MPs in the "Strong Republic" bloc also highlighted the necessity of activating all economic facilities in the country, especially in the northern region, be it the port or the special economic zone or the airport, particularly in light of the national, economic and developmental needs for this region. He considered that the Klayaat Airport would complement the work of Beirut Airport in various aspects.
Attieh, who thanked Geagea and the Lebanese Forces deputies for adopting this project, pointed out that “all the blocs that we met had a lot of positivity about this project due to its importance...Starting from here, we will now enter the implementation phase and develop plans and a follow-up work mechanism at the administrative and logistical levels, and God willing, we will be able to operate the airport in the near future.”
