My Objectives and Aspirations for Being Involved in Cedar Routes:

  • I believe this is an opportunity for aviation professionals around the world with Lebanese routes to assist the Lebanese Government to formulate policies and influence them in a way which should help the Lebanese aviation interests to have their voice heard and for the aviation sector in Lebanon to flourish and prosper.To connect to professionals across the world with Lebanese heritage and to help/mentor young and ambitious Lebanese professionals.
