Civil Aviation Returns to Normal after Russia Ends Maneuvers
Transportation Minister Ghazi Zoaiter announced Sunday that Russia ended the naval maneuvers that have affected civil aviation in Lebanon, reported the National News Agency.
He said that civil aviation can now go back to normal after the conclusion of the maneuvers that took place in the Mediterranean.
Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) added that civil aviation will return to normal at 11:00 am.
Russia had requested on Friday that Lebanon ensure that flights from Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport avoid an area over the eastern Mediterranean for the next three days.
On Saturday, flights in and out of Lebanon were being forced to take longer routes, with some airlines canceling services after Moscow's request.
