Airlines extend suspended flights to Lebanon over security concerns

Air France and Transavia France have decided to extend the suspension of their flights to Beirut until at least August 6 “due to the security situation,” parent company Air France-KLM announced on Saturday.

The two companies have suspended services to the Lebanese capital since July 29, amid fears of a military escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. An Air France spokesman told AFP that flights to Tel Aviv “continue normally.”
