EgyptAir to re-open its office in Libya’s Tripoli

CAIRO – 20 September 2022: Egypt’s state-own airline, EgyptAir, is preparing to re-open its office in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, after more than 8 years of hiatus, Youm7 reported on Monday.

The flights were suspended to Libya due to political turmoil.

EgyptAir is completing the equipment of its office in Tripoli, in preparation for the return of its regular flights to the Libyan city of Benghazi, besides the operation of some internal special flights.

EgyptAir pays special attention to Libya, where many Egyptians reside and work, as well as with the aim of promoting trade and economic ties between both countries.

In August 2022, the Libyan News Agency reported the arrival of the first EgyptAir flight to Mitiga airport, located in the capital Tripoli, after an eight-year hiatus.

EgyptAir had declared the operation of temporary flights between Sharm El Sheikh International Airport and Mitiga airport until October 11 in order to transport Libyan tourist groups to and from the Egyptian resort town.
