Beirut – Nov 2011

 

LANDSIDE

The departure ramp has views of a few gates and anything taxiing to and from the GA ramp should be seen. Its possible to walk to the GA terminal although a car is recommended. Views either side of the hanger allow most stuff to be seen.

 

There are several stored aircraft here by another hanger but there are no views from the perimeter.

 

AIRSIDE

No problems seeing most gates from here and all movements should be seen. No views of the GA ramp or stored stuff from here.

 

To see the stored aircraft. Assuming they are using the same runway configuration as when I was there and judgeing by the location of the city, I think it will always be the same. Take a left hand seat for departure and you should taxi close by.

 

HOTELS

Didn’t notice any close by.
