Wings of Lebanon (Arabic: أجنحة لبنان) was[1] a privately held Lebanese airline, which began operations in 2006.
History
[edit]In July 2016 the airline expanded its business model from pure operations to also include largely seasonal scheduled international passenger services from its main base at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport.
