US airlines can now fly to Lebanon for first time since 1985, says Donald Trump
President Trump directed US airlines to fly directly to Lebanon. Flights were suspended in 1985 after a hijacking incident. Extensive security reviews are now required before flights can resume. The US State Department currently advises Americans against travel to Lebanon. This directive follows a similar order lifting a ban on flights to Venezuela.
