TRIPREPORT | Middle East Airlines (ECONOMY) | Airbus A321neo | Paris CDG - Beirut

I was prepared for many things on this MEA flight, but not for it to be that good. Middle East Airlines might even be able to compete with Qatar Airways or Emirates offering a product like this!

    And this is an airline from a country undergoing severe economic problems. Imagine how it would be if it were the contrary case. Puts many other airlines to shame. Bravo MEA and may your beautiful Lebanon prosper and flourish once again!

    Yeah, when the situation gets better there, they will hopefully start going to the US and Canada. Maybe in 2026, when they receive their Airbus A330-900neo’s, they will put them on the US and Canada routes from Beirut, since it will be their largest aircraft in their fleet, and the a330neo is capable of flying very long distances. The MEA chairman did want to order the Airbus A350-900, but they decided to leave that to the future, since it is not needed as of now. If they end up ordering the Airbus A350-900, they will probably put those in the US and Canada routes.
