Emirates Airlines has announced that it will resume flights to Beirut, Lebanon, beginning on 1st February 2025, with a daily service. Additionally, the airline will reinstate its daily flights to Baghdad, Iraq, on the same date. This move marks a significant return of services to both cities after a period of disruption.

From February, Emirates will operate its daily flights to Rafic Al Hariri International Airport using a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in three classes. This will provide over 5,000 seats available both ways each week, enhancing travel options for passengers traveling to and from Lebanon.

Starting on 1st April 2025, Emirates plans to expand its operations by adding a second daily flight to Beirut. The new EK957/958 morning service will also be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER, further increasing capacity and frequency for travelers. The daily flights to Baghdad will similarly utilize a Boeing 777 aircraft, ensuring a robust service for passengers heading to Iraq.
