On 27 July 2025, IVAO Lebanon and IVAO Türkiye hosted a dual airbridge linking Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (OLBA) and Dalaman Airport (LTBS), creating a direct virtual connection between two of the Eastern Mediterranean’s most popular summer destinations.

The event attracted 14 movements, with pilots enjoying a mix of overwater flying, coastal approaches, and diverse ATC coverage on both sides of the route. Dalaman’s location on Türkiye’s Turquoise Coast and Beirut’s position as a gateway to Lebanon’s rich culture and landscapes made the flight a visually stunning experience from departure to arrival.

This collaboration not only provided scenic summer flying opportunities but also strengthened ties between the two divisions, offering participants a smooth, well-coordinated evening in the virtual skies.
