Lebanon's Government discussed (18-Jan-2018) the path of development for Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport at a meeting with consultant Dar Al-Hessadah, with a plan of action proposed to expand the airport to a capacity of 10 million passengers p/a for approximately AED200 million (USD54 million). The project will take place over two phases, as follows:

  • Review the existing terminal's interior and exterior design in order to enhance capacity from six to eight million passengers p/a;
