Testimonies from Beirut

Being an airplane pilot in Lebanon during the war


In this new episode of our podcast "Testimonies from Beirut," we interview a Middle East Airline pilot who continued to fly between Beirut and other countries during the war.

At a time when Lebanon was undergoing one of the worst periods in its history, her return journeys, filled with the anguish of not being able to return to her country, tell a different perspective of the catastrophe.

She recounts her experience from the first day of the bombing raids on Beirut, which she discovered as she was about to land at the international airport, to the ceasefire, not to mention the long evenings spent in foreign airports in between.

This is the moving testimony of a Lebanese airplane pilot more in love than ever with her country.
