Update: 15:03, Thursday, Jun 28,2012 (GMT+7)
SkyTeam’s 17th member expands global reach for Lebanese customers.

SkyTeam, the global airline alliance, today welcomed Middle East Airlines – Air Liban (MEA) as its 17th member. The flag carrier of Lebanon, MEA becomes SkyTeam’s second Middle Eastern member, offering customers from the region access to an extensive global network.


From its home base in Beirut, MEA flies to 30 international destinations throughout Africa, the Middle East and Europe. MEA’s membership of SkyTeam makes it easier for customers to travel to and from Lebanon, whether it’s for business or leisure. This especially benefits the large number of Lebanese diaspora living in the US, Canada and Brazil, who will be able to connect via the major hubs Paris CDG and Rome.

“Joining SkyTeam allows us to expand our global reach and offer our customers hundreds more worldwide destinations,” said MEA Chairman - Director General Mohamad El-Hout. “Becoming a SkyTeam member is integral to our strategy for growth and increased profitability as we look forward to a future of cooperation with our alliance partners.”


Effective immediately, MEA customers will be able to earn and redeem miles on services operated by all SkyTeam member airlines. Members of other SkyTeam airlines’ frequent flyer programs can also earn and redeem miles when flying on MEA operated flights.

MEA’s membership and integration into the alliance is sponsored by founding SkyTeam member Air France.
