Royal Jordanian suspends flights to Beirut | News from Jordan

Ammon News – Royal Jordanian Airlines suspended its flights to the Lebanese capital Beirut on Monday, cancelling Monday’s flight RJ403 and Tuesday’s flight RJ407, following the decision of the Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission (CARC) to suspend all domestic airline flights to Beirut airport for a short period of time.

The evaluation of Tuesday’s flights is still ongoing, Royal Jordanian said in a press release.

Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) announced on Monday that it had suspended five routes operated by Swiss International Air Lines, Eurowings and Lufthansa to and from Beirut until July 30 “out of an abundance of caution”.

A rocket attack that killed 12 teenagers and children in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday has heightened fears that a full-scale war could break out between Israel and the Iran-backed group.
