The MEA will operate 27 total flights from and to Beirut today.

In a statement, the Lebanese Pilot Association (LPA) has said that the pilots will escalate their moves further if the airline does not respond to their demands starting next week.

But contacts between the Lebanese Pilot Association and the MEA’s board are expected to start today through the mediation efforts of the ministries of Public Works and Labor to solve the issue, the National News Agency (NNA) has reported.
