Air France, Transavia nix flights to Beirut until Tuesday over regional tensions
PARIS, France –Flights to Beirut by Air France and low-cost carrier Transavia France will remain suspended until at least Tuesday due to “security” concerns in the region, parent company Air France-KLM says.
The two French airlines first stopped servicing the route on Monday, a day after Israel vowed to retaliate following rocket fire from Lebanon that killed 12 children in the town of Majdal Shams. Flights to Tel Aviv will continue as normal, a spokesman tells AFP.
