Qatar Airways said on Tuesday it had suspended flights to Beirut until Wednesday as tensions escalated between Israel and Hezbollah in the deadliest bombardment in nearly a year of cross-border clashes.
"Due to the ongoing situation in Lebanon, Qatar Airways has temporarily suspended flights to and from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport until September 25," the Qatari national carrier said in a statement.
"The safety of our passengers remains our highest priority," it added.
Germany's Lufthansa, Air France and Delta Air Lines of the United States have also suspended flights to Beirut in recent days with some carriers' services to Israel and Iran also affected.
