Tunisair announced that it has stopped operating all its flights to and from Libyan airports as a result of the large losses incurred by the company, due to the imposition of a tax on the dollar by the Libyan authorities.
Tunisair, whose authorized agents in Libya, immediately stopped ticket sales in the Libyan market, due to the current circumstances and the large losses incurred by the company after the imposition of a 27% tax on the dollar exchange rate.
Earlier this year, the Central Bank of Libya imposed a 27% foreign exchange sales tax until the end of 2024, according to the decision of the Speaker of Parliament, Aguila Saleh, which sparked widespread controversy due to its negative impact on living in Libya.
The Libyan destination is one of the most important airlines on which Tunisair operates, as its airports have become a gateway between Libya and Europe after the suspension of European flights to Libyan airports and the prevention of Libyan aviation from entering most of the world’s airports.
It is worth noting that Tunisair was working on daily flights between the airports of the two countries, benefiting thousands of passengers, in competition with Libyan airlines.
