Lebanese Government to open Klaiaat Airport?
We’ve been hearing calls from several parties in Lebanon, including myself, to re-open the Klaiaat airport and have an alternative to the Rafic Hariri international airport.
Apparently, and as mentioned in Annahar today, the government has plans to re-open the Klaiaat airport for strictly economic reasons. I want to believe that it’s gonna happen but I highly doubt it. [Article]

i suggest they open the big land in “HAMAT” to become an airport because it is highly equipped for this target- and is much more secure than any other city.
Typical Lebanese government; when they can’t fix the cause of the problem they’ll offer/point to alternatives:
-can’t provide us with 24/7 electricity, then use the 7ay generators
-can’t provide us with water, jeebo sahreej
-can’t provide us with landlines, buy a cellphone (back in the early 90s)
and now they can’t secure a 24/7 functioning airport, they’re looking for alternatives.
A few years from today when we can’t afford food anymore they’ll simply tell us “KELO KH***”.
ummmmm doesn’t this just add another road to block?
who needs an airport on the border with syria(less then 20 km), unless they are planning military aid to the syria free army. This is a US demand to open a direct and easy supply route.
