Qantas to help fly hundreds of Australians home from Lebanon as Middle East conflict escalates

Qantas will help fly hundreds of Australians home from Lebanon as the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, has confirmed.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced two government-supported charter flights carrying up to 500 Australians will depart from Beirut Airport and fly to Larnaca, Cyprus tomorrow.

Passengers will then be able to travel to Australia on board a non-stop Qantas flight from Cyprus to Sydney on Monday night, with two services already confirmed by the carrier.
