Dubai-based airline Emirates has announced the resumption of daily flights to Beirut and Baghdad, starting 1 February 2025. These services were initially suspended due to regional conflict following Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon in October 2024. The decision to restart flights comes after a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel was reached on 27 November 2024.
