A Brief History of the Airport

Beirut International Airport was established in 1954, making it one of the oldest air travel facilities in the Middle East. It bears the name of Rafic Baha El Deen Al Hariri, the Lebanese businessman and Prime Minister of Lebanon from 1992 to 1998 and again from 2000 until his resignation on 20 October 2004. The airport sustained considerable damage during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) and has since undergone substantial reconstruction and modernisation, expanding to its current three-runway configuration with a passenger terminal designed for a capacity of 6 million passengers — a figure its annual throughput of over 8 million has long surpassed. BEY was also the first airport in the region to offer 5G wireless internet services, available free of charge for 2 hours.
