    BLOMINVEST Middle East Airlines: Resilient As Its Cedar Emblem BANK June 11, 2016 Contact Information Research Assistant: Lana Saadeh [email protected] Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael [email protected] Research Department Tel: +961 1 991 784 Middle East Airlines (MEA) is Lebanon’s prime airlines. Established in 1945, it initiated its first flights to countries in close proximity such as Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, and other destinations in the Gulf, enjoying its heyday as a tourist carrier and global aviation hub. In 1963, MEA merged with Air Liban and added new destinations like Europe, Middle East, and West Africa. The central bank of Lebanon owns 99% of the Middle East Airlines, which operates on a commercial basis. During the Lebanese Civil War, between 1975 and 1990, Beirut International Airport closed for a while. However, MEA managed to survive by leasing aircrafts, transferring staff to international airline companies, and operating charter flights from different bases such as Cyprus. By 1975, MEA had 23 planes. However, during the war 12 planes of MEA were destroyed, 7 of them in the 1982 Israeli invasion. With the return to normality in 1990, MEA succeeded in reestablishing services to all its previous destinations, strengthening and improving its network to Europe, Middle East and the Gulf. Due to its ability to keep functioning through such difficult situations, MEA earned its title “the world’s most resilient airline” by the Times of London. In addition to MEA, Trans Mediterranean Airways (TMA cargo) was established in 1953, as an all-cargo operator. The company grew rapidly to become one of the world's major cargo airlines with one of the largest international all cargo networks linking major cities in the five continents.

  • The Performance of Transport Systems in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries
    The Performance of Transport systems in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries This document has been developed within the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean statistical cooperation project Medstat III, funded by the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of Medstat III and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Union. The programme MEDSTAT III in brief MEDSTAT III, the statistical cooperation programme with the European Union’s partner countries of North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean, was financed and managed by EuropeAid, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Development and Cooperation. The programme, which was officially launched on 28th April 2010, ran until the end of 2013 and had a budget of seven million euros. The aim of the programme was to strengthen the capacity of the statistical authorities of the EU’s Mediterranean partners (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia) to collect up to date, timely and relevant statistics, ensuring the reliability and coherence of available information. Objectives MEDSTAT III built on the achievements of the MEDSTAT I (1996-2003) and MEDSTAT II (2006-2009) programmes. It sought to promote evidence-based policy-making and to foster democratic development through the use of robust statistical data. The programme aimed to improve the quality and availability of data in six priority thematic sectors - agriculture, energy, migration, social statistics, transport, and trade and balance of payments - and promoted the increased dissemination and use of this data. What was done? MEDSTAT III was designed to strengthen the national statistics institutes and national statistical systems in the Mediterranean Partner Countries by improving their capacity to collect the timely, relevant and high- quality data necessary for political decision-making and good governance.
