Tripoli 09 August 2020 (WAL) - Maitiga International Airport
resumed its flights Sunday morning, as a Libyan Airlines plane took
off heading to Istanbul International Airport on its scheduled flight
for today.
On Monday, August 3, the Airports Authority announced the
suspension of flights from Misrata Airport and their resumption from

passenger terminal at Misrata International Airport.
The authority indicated that the regular flights of airlines for
departure and non-scheduled return flights from Maitiga International
Airport will be resumed, starting from Sunday morning, on the 9th of
August, due to the maintenance work at the airport.
It is noteworthy that the Minister of Transportation, the Head of the
Airports Authority, and the directors of the competent technical
departments of the Authority paid a field visit last Thursday evening
to Maitiga International Airport to inspect the progress of
maintenance work and ensure the airport's readiness for operation.
The tour included a visit to some basic facilities at the airport,
including the passenger terminal and the air traffic control tower,
to see the progress of the work of re-paving the main helipad and
lighting the airfield, and to ensure that the instructions and signs
that should be followed by travelers and workers while they were at
the airport were put in place to prevent infection transmission.
The Airports Authority has published, on its Facebook page, "tips and
advice." for travelers prior to the opening of Maitiga International
Airport to air traffic, starting from Sunday, to educate travelers
about the measures to be taken while they are at the airport.
