Middle East Airlines-Air Liban to Join SkyTeam Alliance

January 20, 2011

Middle East Airlines-Air Liban (MEA), the national carrier of Lebanon, will sign an agreement on Feb. 28 to officially start the process of joining SkyTeam in 2012. Customers will benefit from increased access to and from the Middle East and Western Africa.          
            Adding MEA as a full member is a significant step towards enhancing the global network of the alliance. SkyTeam is actively working to strengthen its presence in the Middle East, one of the world’s most important economic regions. MEA will be a valuable addition to the alliance by offering customers increased access to the Middle East and Western Africa.
            MEA has continued to improve its products and services to customers ever since it successfully concluded a thorough restructuring plan, destined to modernize and restructure the airline. Key elements of this plan included fleet renewal and rationalization, increasing the density of its European, Middle East and West African network and improving product quality and consistency.
