Turkey’s national flag carrier will resume flights to Libya in the coming days after a hiatus of around 10 years, Libya’s Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah announced on Saturday.
“Alhamdulillah, Turkish Airlines will resume flights to Libya from next week after an absence of nearly 10 years,” Dbeibah wrote on his social media account.
Highlighting the significance of THY’s resumption of flights as an indicator of stability in the country, Dbeibah extended his gratitude to the Civil Aviation Authority and all relevant institutions in Libya for their contributions to this step.
The resumption was also confirmed by Turkish Airlines’ Chief Executive Officer Bilal Ekşi.
“Our flights to Libya are starting. We will operate 3 flights per week. Our flights are now open for sale,” Ekşi wrote on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
