Qatar Airways on Thursday (September 19) imposed a ban on passengers departing from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY), prohibiting them from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on board.

After deadly walkie-talkie explosions in Lebanon, Qatar Airways has prohibited passengers from bringing pagers and walkie-talkies on flights from Beirut. The ban will remain until further notice as rescue operations continue.

This directive follows the explosions detonated by Israel planted explosives on pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon.

The ban applies to both checked and carry-on luggage, as well as cargo, and will be enforced until further notice. Qatar Airways announced the regulations on social media platform X.

Officials in Lebanon reportedly have banned pagers and walkie-talkies from being brought onboard planes departing Beirut following explosions targeting Hezbollah.
