Announced in October 2018, the new lane has launched last Saturday, April 13, linking Lyon, once a week on Saturday, to Beirut, starting at 79 € (one way, all taxes included).

The plane takes off from the Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport at 7:10AM, to reach Beyrouth at 12:10PM. The other way around is at 1:05PM from Beirut, all the way to Lyon at 4:25PM.
