Emirates, Etihad flight operations to and from Beirut normal

Abu Dhabi: The UAE-based international airlines Emirates and Etihad Airways' flight operations to and from Beirut are normal, their spokespersons told Gulf News by telephone on Saturday.

Lebanon was hit by a heavy winter storm on Saturday, postponing flights at its international airport in Beirut and causing delays in incoming and outgoing flights.

"We have received no alerts from our network control on flights to and from Beirut," said an Emirates spokeswoman.

"There has been no delay so far in any Etihad flight to and from Beirut," said a spokesman for the Abu Dhabi-based airline.
