Flights were resumed Wednesday at Beirut Rafik Hariri International Airport after a six-hour standstill, the official National News Agency (NNA) reported.
Three flights of Lebanese Middle East Airlines coming from Istanbul, Kuwait City and Kano arrived at the airport at 3:00 p.m. local time (1200 GMT), said the report.
Air navigation through the Lebanese airport came to a halt early Wednesday when activists blocked roads leading to the facility coinciding with a labor strike called for on the same day.
A total of 32 incoming and outgoing flights were cancelled, local Naharnet news website reported, adding that a number of small jets were removed from the airport to nearby airports.
On Tuesday, Lebanese General Federation of Labor Unions (GFLU) called for a massive strike throughout the country on Wednesday to protest against a modest increase of monthly salaries.
The strike turned into a confrontation between supporters of opposition parties and the government.
Some protestors blocked several roads in and around Beirut with sand, burning tires and cars, including the main roads leading to the airport and the Beirut port.
The GFLU then cancelled the strike due to closure of roads.
A similar opposition strike on Jan. 23, 2007 led to serious confrontation between rival Lebanese groups, which left at least 29 wounded.
