Flights cancelled for days or weeks at Beirut's "Rafik Hariri" international airport. This is a choice made by numerous global airlines operating at the Lebanese stopover. The reason? The crisis in the Middle East between Israelis and Palestinians which is spreading to the Land of Cedars. A situation that also had a severe impact on the new Israeli company Air Haifa. 

In fact, the airline is the one most exposed to rocket launches and reprisals between the Lebanese group Hezbollah and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), that is Tel Aviv's armed forces. Its airport hub is in fact located in Haifa, north of Israel, about 40 km from the border with Lebanon. 

In recent weeks, mutual attacks have multiplied and there is a risk of escalation. So much so that the list of airlines that have suspended or rescheduled their activities in Beirut is increasingly longer: the Lebanese national carrier Middle Eastern Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Egyptair, Air France, Lufthansa, the Swiss Swiss, the Greek Aegean Airlines, the Jordanian company Royal Jordanian.
