3. Flights to Beirut Resume on Tuesday

Flights to Beirut will resume on Tuesday following a speech by Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday. Nasrallah announced that the retaliation against Israel had been "accomplished," which appears to have reassured airlines. Sunday's Hezbollah attack on Israel was part of the "response" to the murder of Hezbollah executive Fouad Shokr in late July.

Airlines resuming flights include Royal Jordanian and Air France, along with its subsidiary Transavia. French carrier Air France, which had suspended flights to Beirut until August 26, has confirmed it will operate its flight to Beirut scheduled for August 27 at 9 AM, according to Tony Daccache, Air France's agent in Lebanon.

For reference, Europe's leading airline, Lufthansa, has extended its suspension of flights to Beirut until September 30 due to the armed conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon, which has been ongoing for over 10 months.

What about MEA?

Unlike other airlines, Lebanon's Middle East Airlines (MEA) has maintained most of its flights despite the hostilities on the southern front. As usual, MEA announced on Friday that flights from August 25 to August 31 would proceed, with some modifications.

Below are the details of the delayed flights, listed by local time in each city.
