Romanian plane brings back stranded Lebanese from Sharm el-Sheikh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 16 June 2025, 12:54
A first Romanian plane carrying Lebanese citizens who were stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh due to the Israel-Iran war arrived Monday morning at the Rafik Hariri International Airport.
A statement issued by Lebanon's civil aviation authority had said that it followed up on the issue with the travel agency at the instructions of Public Works and Transportation Minister Fayez Rasamny.
Similar flights are scheduled to arrive in Beirut later throughout the day.
The unprecedented Israel-Iran confrontation -- involving the use of ballistic and interception missiles, warplanes and drones -- has prompted neighboring countries to close their airspace for lengthy hours and several airlines to cancel flights, which has created travel chaos.
