BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon will re-open Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport for commercial flights beginning July 1, but will keep air traffic at 10% of capacity from a year ago, a statement from the prime minister's office said on Friday.
Private flights will resume from June 24, the statement said.
Passengers will be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival and obliged to practice home quarantine if testing positive, it added.
