Aegean cuts Beirut over jet damage

Greece's largest carrier Aegean Airlines said it had suspended all flights to Beirut pending the results of an investigation into the cause of damage to one of its planes that flew to the Lebanese capital. Ground crew at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport found external damage to the fuselage of a plane that flew from Athens on January 10, prompting the airline a day later to suspend all flights to and from Beirut, a company statement said. It gave no further details about the damage found on the aircraft's exterior. Lebanon's transport ministry dismissed what it said were comments on social media and in the media that suggested a bullet could be to blame. Lebanese Transport and Public Works Minister Ali Hamie published an email on Twitter, dated January 15, covering a technical assessment of damage found below the cockpit. "After close examination, it was determined that it was not the result of a bullet", the email said. Aegean said it had notified Greek authorities and Beirut Airport authorities and expected to give an update on resuming flights to Beirut in the coming weeks. Beirut Airport is in a bustling residential area of the capital, where festive gunfire is not uncommon.

Interesting that an Albanian tour operator would organise flights out of SKP. Could it be that charges are so much lower.
