In response to the situation of Lebanese citizens stranded in the Turkish city of Antalya, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport announced three return options, following instructions from Minister Fayez Rasamny. This initiative aims to ensure the safety of Lebanese nationals and facilitate their swift return home.
Option 1: Via Istanbul
Travelers can reach Istanbul from Antalya by land or air, then book a connecting flight to Beirut. This is the fastest self-organized option for those with urgent travel needs.
Option 2: Direct Flight Under Coordination
Tour operator Nakhal is actively coordinating with several Turkish airlines to arrange a direct flight from Antalya to Beirut. The flight is expected to operate once logistical arrangements are finalized, offering a more direct alternative for returnees.
Option 3: Maritime Route from Tripoli
A vessel will depart from the Port of Tripoli in Lebanon to Mersin, Turkey, to pick up Lebanese nationals. The vessel is scheduled to leave Lebanon on Wednesday, June 18, and return with passengers on Thursday, June 19.
The Ministry emphasized that all efforts are being made to provide safe and practical return options, and urged affected citizens to stay updated through official communication channels.
