Libya resumes direct flights to & from Egypt after 7 years

Direct flights between Mitiga Airport in Tripoli and Egypt’s Cairo International Airport are set to resume after a seven-year suspension.
Ean Libya Outlet said Cairo International Airport will receive two flights on Thursday from Mitiga Airport.
According to Ean Libya, Afriqiyah Airways will run nine weekly flights from Libya to Cairo.
Direct flights between the Cairo-based airport and Libya were suspended in 2014 due to insecurity in Libya.
