Lebanese Air Transport
The Lebanese Air Transport (LAT) was established in 1958 and licensed as a ground handling company by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Based at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BRHIA - BEY) and operating 24/7/365, LAT is entitled to carry out -for its own account or for the account of other parties - air transport activities on charter basis and all kinds of commercial ground handling services of airlines arriving and departing to/from BRHIA. Distinguished by its reliable technical performance, flexibility, quick response to the customers’ needs, tailor-made professional approach, along with a competitive pricing strategy, LAT has gradually expanded its services year after year to be in line with the development of BRHIA, thereby contributing to the success of the “open skies” policy adopted by the Lebanese Government, aimed at making Beirut once again the focus point of international air traffic. Equipped with over 400 highly trained and experienced ground personnel, LAT is continuously investing in state-of-the-art ground support equipment and qualified human resources to adequately serve any future growth at BRHIA. With more than 50 years of experience in efficient passenger and cargo handling at the service of international airlines, LAT is certified by both ISAGO (IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
