    Flights are finally resuming from Lebanon to France this week, according to Middle East Airlines (MEA).

    As COVID-19 restrictions are easing, airlines around the world are slowly resuming their activities.

    Middle East Airlines (MEA) announced that it’s resuming flights to several international airports this month.

    The first flights resuming are scheduled MEA flights between Beirut and Saudi Arabia as of today.

    By the end of the week, flights between Paris and Beirut will resume as well, in addition to codeshare flights with Air France.

    Travelling to France

    All travelers leaving to France as a final destination must have a negative PCR test result not more than 72 hours from the date of departure.

    If you can’t present a negative PCR test result will have to do the exam when they arrive in France.

    Until the results are out, you must quarantine for two days.

    You must fill out a Passenger Locator Form and give it to the airliner’s crew.

    This is in addition to the travel certificates specified by the French Health Ministry, which must be presented at the airport upon arrival.

    Traveling to Lebanon

    When flying to Lebanon (as a final destination) or returning back from a trip, you must show a PCR negative result from a certified lab at the time of check-in.

    The test result can’t exceed 96 hours before departure. You must also do the PCR test when arriving at Beirut airport. (Middle East Airlines covers the cost for this).
