“The changes to the schedule for summer 2010 reflect the high demand on the Beirut air route,” said  Wataniya’s chairman and managing director, Abdulsalam Al Bahar.

The plan to increase flights to Beirut comes as the company gears up to receive its fifth aircraft at the end of March.

Wataniya Airways flights to Beirut will be departing at 11:35AM, 3:10PM, and 7:25PM, the airline said.
