Libya’s outgoing Government of National Unity announced on Sunday the resumption of Jordan and Qatar Airways flights to and from Libya later in May.
The announcement came during a meeting held by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh with Transport Minister Mohammed al-Shahoubi to follow up on air aviation files.
During the meeting, Al-Shahoubi confirmed the return of Royal Jordanian and Qatar Airways flights to Libya in May, noting that there are ongoing discussions with Saudi Airlines to resume its flights as well, and so far, there has been no official comment from Jordan, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia regarding this announcement.
In April, Al-Shahoubi pointed to the importance of resuming Qatar Airways flights to Libya, saying that this will contribute to improving international confidence in the security and technical aspects of Libyan airports and reducing hesitation for international airlines.
