Italy and Libya resume flights after 10-year ban

Italy and Libya resumed commercial flights for the first time in ten years, reports AP. 

In July, Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni lifted a 10-year embargo on aviation to Libya as the two countries’ authorities agreed that one airline company from each country would operate flights between Rome and Tripoli.  

On September 30, a flight departed Mitiga International Airport in Libya’s capital and arrived at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport.
