Emirates announced this Friday that it will resume its services to Beirut, Lebanon, and Baghdad, Iraq, starting February 1, 2025, adding more options, greater convenience, and improved connectivity on both routes.
The airline will restart its daily flights to Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut on February 1. These flights will be operated with three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, offering more than 5,000 seats weekly in both directions. This deployment not only increases passenger capacity but also provides broader options and a higher level of comfort for travelers seeking to connect Beirut with Dubai and the over 140 destinations in Emirates’ global network.
