Aug 31, 2006 (newstodate): Czech airline CSA has decided to suspend flights between the Czech Republic and Lebanon until the current summer flight schedule expires on October 28, 2006.
CSA remains, however, prepared to react very quickly to any change in the situation in the area and resume flights within a matter of days.
CSA has stated that the resumption of regular flights to Beirut depends on the local airport becoming fully operational, including onsite aircraft refuelling and the full opening of Lebanon's airspace.
The insurance market has also responded to the worsening international security situation. Insurers and underwriters now require airlines to submit precise information about their flight plans in the area around Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
If they do not, their insurance may be cancelled.
