IAN GOOLD / BEIRUTMiddle East Airlines is set for privatisation on the back of an expected return to profitability next year for the first time since 1977 , says chairman Mohamad El-Hout. He estimates the carrier will post operating losses of less than $10 million this year, compared to less than $30 million last year and as much as $80 million in 1997. The Beirut-based airline is ready now for privatisation, El-Hout adds. El-Hout, formerly a director of Lebanon s central bank which owns 99.3% of MEA, was drafted in four years ago to turn the flag carrier around in the wake of the 15-year civil war that ended in 1990. Under a restructuring plan introduced in 2001, he has increased frequency on MEA s strongest routes and dropped weak services, including long-haul operations. El-Hout has also steered the carrier to a partnership with SkyTeam member Air France, including codesharing on Beirut-Paris services, to US destinations and European points.He has cut
