Middle East Airlines (MEA) has announced that it will offer free booking changes for passengers affected by flight schedule adjustments in early September 2024. These adjustments are primarily due to ongoing difficulties securing aircraft insurance, particularly for flights between Lebanon and other locations. While Air Liban has confirmed that its flight schedule from September 1st to 5th will largely proceed as planned, there have been specific flight changes due to this insurance issue.
