MEA TIMETABLE, MAY 1974.

Document sent by Gregory Buchakjian @ Baron&Baron Website.

MEA's timetable of flights leaving BEY was a feature of the Lebanon Fortnightly tourist publication.

This timetable is that of the airline at the height of its golden age. The network spread to 40 destinations in 3 continents. MEA operated daily flights from Beirut to Abu Dhabi, Amman, Athens, Baghdad, Bahrain, Cairo, Dhahran, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait, London, Nicosia and Paris. Its homogenous Boeing 707/Boeing 720 fleet greatly reduced operating costs. MEA was one of the leading airlines in the Middle East, and truly lived up to its name.
