Libya's Airports Authority announced on April 15 that a specialized committee from the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO visited Mitiga International Airport. The purpose of the visit was to assess the airport's adherence to ICAO's international standards and recommended practices. The inspection included a review of technical systems, an audit of aviation security and safety procedures, and an evaluation of ground service efficiency. This visit is part of ongoing efforts to enhance operational performance and ensure the airport's readiness for international flights, meeting the highest quality standards. The EU's flight ban on Libya remains in effect. This inspection follows several recent developments in Libya's aviation sector, including the adoption of a regulatory framework for in-flight internet, the announcement of the 4th Libya Aviation Forum and Expo, and various airlines planning or launching direct flights to and from Libya, such as MedSky to Madrid and Dusseldorf, and Cham Air to Damascus. Discussions are also underway with Turkey, Algeria, Serbia, and France regarding increased or resumed direct flights.
