Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport is located 9 kilometres from the city center in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, and is the only operational commercial airport in the country.

The airport opened on 23 April 1954, replacing the much smaller Bir Hassan Airfield which was located a short distance north.
