U.S. President Donald Trump lifted the 41‑year ban on flights between the United States and Lebanon, and Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun welcomed the decision as a sign of U.S. confidence in Lebanon’s civil aviation safety.
Sources differ on when the ban was first imposed, with one stating it began in 1976 and another saying it was imposed in 1985 after the hijacking of TWA Flight 847.
