TRIPOLI, Sept 20 (NNN-IRIN) – The Libyan government, yesterday announced, it will resume flights to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, later this month.
“The civil aviation departments of both countries, agreed to take measures to start direct flights from the airports of Mitiga (Tripoli), Misurata, and Benina (Benghazi), to Cairo, starting from Sept 30,” said the Libyan government’s spokesman, Mohamed Hamuda.
The decision to resume flights came, after a visit to Cairo, paid by the Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah, a few days ago, where a number of agreements were signed between the two countries.
Dbeibah’s Government of National Unity was appointed a few months ago by the UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), ending years of political division in the country.
The government’s main task is to prepare for the general elections, to be held later this year, as approved by the LPDF.– NNN-IRIN
