MEA’s philosophy has always been staff-oriented. Our most important asset has always been the employee. This philosophy is reflected in our Human Resources policies and practices and was the major contributor to the continuity of the company during periods of crisis. This was manifested in solidarity among employees, loyalty, commitment, dedication and that feeling of belonging which helped the company survive years of civil unrest, and repeated long periods of Beirut International airport closure.

Over the years and in line with MEA’s general policy of assisting and caring for its employees, the company introduced various benefits, privileges, and welfare schemes that would relieve the employees from personal worries in order to maintain a good level of performance and productivity that include:

• Relief Fund to aid the employee in emergencies or hardships
• Staff Canteen to provide good food at low prices
• Scholarships to employees children in excess of government requirements
• Medical Scheme covering employees and direct dependents in excess of Social Security requirements.
• Free or rebated travel facilities
• Career Building through an on-going process of training, for which, MEA maintains a well established In-house training department with proper premises and up-to-date training aid and material.  In-house training to staff, as well as specialized training to third parties is offered at our Training and Development Department.  MEA is proud to have highly qualified instructors in various specialties who regularly undergo extensive qualification updating in order to continually provide up-to-date training in the airline industry.
