Tripoli, February 20, 2025 (LANA) - A team from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority conducted field visits to Maitiga, Benina and Misurata airports to ensure the level of compliance of civil aviation security procedures in Libya with international standards and rules.

The Libyan Civil Aviation Authority stated that the visit of the team delegated by the UAE Aviation Authority comes within the framework of ongoing efforts to restore air traffic between Libyan airports and airports of other countries.

The Authority said in a statement that the head of the UAE team expressed, during his meeting with the head of the Libyan Aviation Authority, his appreciation for the level of security procedures followed and the availability of work and operation manuals and references according to the approved standards, considering that the report that the team will submit after the end of its visit is a fundamental factor in the decision to return flights of UAE airlines to Libyan airports.

In turn, the Assistant Head of the Authority provided a comprehensive explanation of the advantages of creating a digital transformation system in the Authority and the facilities it provides to all departments of the Authority to carry out their duties, explaining the importance of the new services to support the implementation of aviation security procedures and ensure that they meet the necessary requirements, especially with regard to licenses for workers in the field of aviation security from all service providers in the civil aviation sector.

The mission of the Emirati delegation comes days after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two countries to lift restrictions on air traffic and encourage airlines from both sides to operate their flights and provide more options and alternatives for travelers.
