Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport has been the subject of mixed statements about its operation. The airport manager, Fadi Hassan, denied that his job had been suspended and asserted that the facility is functioning normally. RIA Novosti reported Hassan’s denial, citing the Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority, and emphasized that the airport continues to handle regular air traffic with no widespread flight cancellations. The manager stressed that day to day operations remain steady and that ground handling teams are actively coordinating departures and arrivals to maintain a smooth flow through the terminal. This reassurance came as observers noted that the airport would likely continue to run even under tense circumstances, with airlines adjusting schedules only where necessary to preserve safety and efficiency across flights, ramps, and security checkpoints.
