Brussels Airport, July 27th,  2010 - The Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines announces the continuation of its direct services between Brussels Airport and Beirut during the coming winter season. The airline restarted direct evening flights to and from Brussels Airport three times weekly on June 22nd. At first, these flights were scheduled to continue until the middle of September, but this summer schedule is now prolonged to a year-round operation.

The restart of the Brussels-Beirut route proved to be an instant hit, and this success is not only related to the Lebanese diaspora. Both business and leisure travelers rediscover the way to Beirut that has fully recaptured its title as "Paris of the Middle East".

As from the middle of September, the current evening operation will be replaced by a morning flight, operated three times per week by Middle East Airlines. At Brussels Airport, this new schedule allows excellent transfer connections to and from North America and a wide choice of destinations in Europe and Africa that are offered by Brussels Airlines.
