Head of the Lebanese Forces party, Samir Geagea, met with a delegation from the "National Moderation" bloc at the party's headquarters in Maarab. Following the meeting, MP Sajeeh Attieh framed the visit within the context of discussions on "restarting Qlayaat Airport," noting that they felt Geagea's positivity, support, and partnership in this important project, especially for the northern region and Akkar, which suffers from much deprivation.
He added, "Geagea also emphasized, along with fellow MPs in the Strong Republic bloc, the necessity of stimulating all economic facilities in the country, particularly in the northern region, be it the port, the special economic zone, or primarily the airport, given the national, economic, and developmental need for this area. The Qlayaat Airport complements the operations of Beirut Airport in various aspects."
Attieh, who thanked Geagea and the MPs of the Lebanese Forces for adopting this project, pointed out that "all the blocs we met with expressed much positivity regarding the significance of this project. From here, we will now enter the implementation phase and establish plans and a follow-up mechanism from both administrative and logistical perspectives, and God willing, we will be able to operate the airport in the near future."
