Prime Minister Najib Miqati tasked Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi to prepare a feasibility study on the possibility of operating the Qlaiaat airport in the North, An Nahar daily reported Thursday.
The suggestion to operate the Rene Moawad airport was made during a cabinet session held at Baabda Palace by Finance Minister Mohammed Safadi to allow Middle East Airlines to use it, it said.
Safadi also denied that MPs from the northern city of Tripoli had refused such a suggestion.
Following a brief dialogue on the matter, Miqati asked Aridi to prepare the study and refer it to the cabinet for discussion within a month, An Nahar said.
