CAIRO: Cairo International Airport received the first Libyan Airlines flight, coming from Maitika International Airport, in seven years.
It was carrying about 255 passengers, and all precautionary and preventive measures were taken against COVID-19.
Flights between the neighboring countries had been suspended due to the conflict in Libya and the closure of its airspace to air traffic.
Cairo International Airport organized a protocol celebration for the arrival of the Libyan Airlines flight.
The decision to resume flights coincided with the visit of the prime minister of Libya’s Government of National Unity to Egypt, during which a number of agreements were signed between the two sides.
