A high-level delegation from the Algerian Civil Aviation Authority conducted a visit to Mitiga International Airport in Libya, today, Wednesday, to verify the security and operational procedures in place at the airport and ensure their compliance with international standards.
The Algerian delegation was received by senior Libyan officials, including the Director General of the Airport, the Director of the Operations and Safety Department, and the Director of the Airport Security Office, in addition to representatives of the various security agencies operating at the airport.
The two sides discussed operational procedures and safety measures, with the Mitiga Airport administration providing a detailed explanation about the recent improvements and adherence to recommended international standards in the field of civil aviation.
The Director General of Mitiga Airport expressed the importance of this visit, stressing that it comes within the framework of the efforts of the Libyan Airports Authority to improve the level of services and enhance security and safety procedures, and stressed the need for international cooperation to ensure the safety of passengers and flights.
The Libyan Airports Authority stated in a statement that this visit comes within a strategic plan to reopen air routes between Libya and Algeria, and to enhance economic exchange between the two countries in accordance with international standards. This step also aims to raise the level of services at Libyan airports and ensure the safety of flights.
It is noteworthy that Algeria had suspended its flights with Libya in January 2016, when the Algerian Ministry of Transport announced at that time the suspension of flights between Algiers and Tripoli until further notice.
This came after the visit of Fayez al-Sarraj, Prime Minister of the Libyan Government of National Accord, to Algeria to discuss issues of concern to the two countries, including promoting development in the border areas, fighting terrorism, and developing economic relations.
In a related context, Algeria had expressed its concern about an unusual influx of Moroccan nationals coming from Casablanca to Libya via Algeria, which prompted the Algerian authorities to take measures to deport travelers who have no justification for their transfer to Libya.
