Greece’s Aegean Airlines suspends flights to Beirut after plane damage – Reuters

ATHENS, Jan 15 (Reuters) - (This January 15 story corrects name of airport to Rafik Hariri not Rania Hariri)

Greece's largest carrier Aegean Airlines (AGNr.AT) said on Saturday it had suspended all flights to Beirut pending the results of an investigation into the cause of damage to one of its planes that flew to the Lebanese capital.

Ground crew at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport found external damage to the fuselage of a plane that flew from Athens on Jan. 10, prompting the airline a day later to suspend all flights to and from Beirut, a company statement said.
