EgyptAir to Operate Flights between Tripoli & Sharm El-Sheikh

On Tuesday, August 9th, EgyptAir will start operating a series of private flights between the Mitiga International Airport in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Sharm El Sheikh International Airport.

The company explained that these flights will continue until October 11th, to transport a number of tourist groups in Libya to Sharm El-Sheikh.

The Chairman of the Egyptian Holding Company for EgyptAir, Pilot Amr Aboul-Enein, said that this comes within the framework of the Ministry of Civil Aviation’s strategy to activate the air traffic and the tourist flow to Egypt from various air transport markets regionally and globally. He added that all facilities will be provided for those coming to the airports of tourist attractions inside Egypt.

The two parties agreed that flights between Mitiga and Sharm El-Sheikh airports will be operated at a rate of one flight per week on board EgyptAir Boeing B737-800 aircraft, which can accommodate 154 passengers, thus contributing to the revitalization of the Libyan tourist movement to Egypt.

Last September, Cairo International Airport received its first flight coming from Tripoli, Libya on after a suspension that has lasted seven years due to turmoil in the country.

The flight was operated by the Libyan state-owned Afriqiyah Airways, which is based in Tripoli.

The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority suspended flights between Libya and Cairo in 2014 due to the insecurity and political turbulence that was rampant in Libya in the past seven years.

The announcement to resume flights between Egypt and Libya came during Libya’s Transportation Minister Muhammad Al-Shoubi’s participation in the 11th session of the Libyan-Egyptian Joint Higher Committee earlier this month.
