Trump Announces Resumption of Direct US Flights to Lebanon After 41 Years

21 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Donald Trump announced that American airlines will be allowed to resume direct flights to Lebanon, a route that has been suspended for over 40 years. This decision follows a meeting with the Lebanese president, where Trump expressed his commitment to support Lebanon significantly.
The suspension of direct flights dates back to 1985, after the hijacking of TWA flight 847.
Direct flights between the U.S. and Lebanon were halted during a tumultuous period marked by civil unrest and security concerns in Lebanon.
This move by Trump could be seen as a strategic attempt to strengthen ties with Lebanon and the broader Middle East, especially in light of ongoing geopolitical tensions. By re-establishing direct flights, the administration may be aiming to foster economic connections and enhance diplomatic relations.
