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.
