The hub

Beirut, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Beirut has historically served as the financial and media capital of the Arab world, hosting regional headquarters for banking, private equity and media groups across the Hamra, Achrafieh and Solidere districts. Despite the economic turbulence that has gripped Lebanon since 2019, private aviation movements to and from Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport (IATA: BEY, ICAO: OLBA) have continued, driven by diaspora travel, humanitarian logistics and business continuity missions across the Gulf-Levant corridor.

The airport sits approximately 9 km southeast of central Beirut. Transfer time to Hamra or Solidere under normal traffic conditions runs 20 to 35 minutes, though congestion on the coastal road can extend this during peak hours. The main GA handling facility is Middle East Airlines Ground Services (MEA-GS) alongside Beirut Handling, which operates the dedicated general aviation ramp on the south apron. Slot coordination is generally not required for private aircraft, though PPR is advisable given apron congestion and the airport's single-runway configuration (runway 03/21, 3,180 m).

The Lebanese pound crisis and periodic political instability have made mission planning to Beirut more complex than in previous decades. Operators should verify permit requirements — Lebanon requires overflight and landing permits — and confirm fuel availability and USD payment terms prior to departure. Customs and immigration are functional 24/7 at BEY for commercial and general aviation, though processing times can vary. Popular routing pairs include Dubai DXB, Paris CDG, Frankfurt FRA and Larnaca in Cyprus for short-sector positioning.

Departures

Departures from Beirut

Departures from Beirut typically operate out of dedicated business-aviation terminals with FBO services, VIP lounges and customs clearance. The right field for your outbound charter depends on FBO availability, slot windows at peak hours, and the runway length your jet category needs. Light Jets (4–7 passengers, ~3h range) cover short European hops from €4,000; Midsize Jets €7,000–€12,000 for transcontinental; Heavy Jets €15,000+ for intercontinental missions; Ultra Long Range for non-stop Beirut → North America or Asia. Confirm 24–48 hours ahead to lock in your preferred FBO; last-minute outbound is possible from 4 hours notice when crew and aircraft are positioned locally.

Arrivals

Arrivals in Beirut

Inbound flights to Beirut land at the dedicated private aviation terminal or an adjacent field closer to downtown — your concierge picks the optimal arrival based on customs hours, ground-transfer time and the runway length your jet category needs. Most Beirut arrivals can be confirmed 24–48 hours ahead; during high-demand weeks (sports finals, fashion weeks, ski breaks, summer peaks) inbound slots fill 5–7 days out. The arrival terminal typically offers VIP lounges, dedicated customs and immigration channels, conference rooms, premium catering and pre-arranged luxury ground transport. Helicopter transfers from the airport to nearby resorts, downtown helipads or onward destinations can be added to any inbound charter.
