NNA - Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Dr. Ali Hamieh, on Thursday said via twitter: "Rafik Hariri International Airport is one of the thousands of facilities owned by the Lebanese state. The public money, that has come to supply the state treasury with the needed revenues, has become a significant amount that contributes to increasing public sector salaries on the one hand and covering part of the budget deficit on the other.”
