Flights between Libya and Syria to start after long suspension

The Syrian Civil Aviation Authority has declared that on August 24th, one-way flights from the Libyan capital of Tripoli to Syria will begin, according to the Libya Review.

Flights will be operated by Syrian Airlines, with the goal of reconnecting Syria with the international community and boosting relations with other countries to support recovery and reconstruction. 

The Syrian community in Libya is comprised of over 150,000 people distributed widely across west and eastern Libya. There are plans to reopen the Syrian embassy in Tripoli and open a new consulate in Benghazi.
