Lebanon’s Middle East Airlines moves 5 aircraft to Istanbul as precaution

ISTANBUL

Lebanon's Middle East Airlines (MEA) said it has moved five of its aircraft to Türkiye due to security reasons, the airlines said.

As the border area between Lebanon and Israel remains volatile, with sporadic clashes frequently erupting between Israel and Hezbollah, MEA sent 4 Airbus A321 Neo and 1 Airbus A330 aircraft from its fleet to Istanbul Airport as a precaution.

The planes are being kept in an open parking position at the airport.
