MEA's route to London was such a success that it was
flown 6 times a week.
MEA offered convenient connections to the main cities
of the Middle East: Cairo, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Aleppo, Nicosia, Ankara,
Aden, Teheran, Kuwait, Jeddah, Dhahran, Bahrain and Doha. MEA also flew
twice weekly to India and Pakistan.
MEA also operated in this season its last all cargo flights. The rise of TMA, Lebanon's all cargo specialist airline, and the introduction of the Comet in late 1960 made all cargo operations less profitable. MEA will sell its 2 Avro Yorks to TMA in 1960.
This map shows MEA's all cargo network of 1960.
