A high-level security delegation from the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation and security directors of major Saudi airlines has arrived at Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli.

According to a statement by Libya’s outgoing Government of National Unity (GNU), the visit is part of a field inspection tour to assess security screening and auditing procedures at the airport.

The visit comes as part of ongoing preparations for the resumption of direct flights between Libya and Saudi Arabia, which have been suspended for years due to security concerns and political instability.

The delegation’s inspection is expected to pave the way for restoring air connectivity between the two countries, enhancing travel options for Libyans, particularly pilgrims and business travellers, and strengthening bilateral ties.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
