Lebanon Jordan Reopen Airspace

Lebanon reopened its airspace on Saturday at 10:00 am local time (0700 GMT) hours after closing it due to the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Works and Transport apologized to passengers whose flights were delayed, saying it had closed the airspace late Friday for the safety of travelers.

Jordan also reopened its airspace at 7:30 a.m. (0530 GMT) Saturday, the civil aviation commission said.

Airlines steered clear of much of the Middle East on Friday after Israeli attacks on Iranian sites forced carriers to cancel or divert thousands of flights in the latest upheaval to travel in the region.
