Turkish airline Pegasus (PGSUS.IS) cancelled its flights to Beirut on Tuesday due to risk assessments on the situation in Lebanon, the company told Reuters.
Similar decisions have been taken by other airlines as Israel strikes Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, increasing fears of a full-blown conflict after Lebanon suffered its deadliest day in decades.
Earlier, the website of Rafic Hariri International Airport showed that more than 30 flights to and from Beirut on Tuesday had been cancelled, including those of Turkish Airlines (THYAO.IS).
Turkish Airlines has not yet responded to Reuters' questions on the issue of flight cancellations. Pegasus said its flight decisions are made daily based on risk assessments.
