Italy Temporarily Halts Flights to Mitiga Airport in Tripoli

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Wednesday, Italy’s national airline postponed its scheduled flights to and from Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli for the current week, according to airport director Ibrahim Farkash.

In a statement, Farkash clarified that while the Italian carrier has temporarily suspended its operations, this decision is expected to be short-term and based on operational or scheduling considerations, rather than a permanent halt or political factors.

He added that flight operations at Mitiga are continuing with other airlines, some of which are resuming their schedules after brief interruptions. Royal Jordanian Airlines may resume its flights to Mitiga as early as today, while Turkish Airlines has already restored its regular service to and from the airport.

Meanwhile, EgyptAir has requested to delay its flights for the day but has not suspended future operations. The temporary changes reflect ongoing adjustments in flight coordination at Tripoli’s main operational airport, which continues to serve as the capital’s primary air travel hub.

Farkash also addressed recent reports circulating on social media, denying claims that some airlines have moved their aircraft or operations to Tripoli International Airport. He clarified that there has been no such transfer and that the old Tripoli airport remains mostly inactive for commercial flights.

He explained that Tripoli International Airport is currently only partially operational. The runway is being used in a limited capacity, specifically for air ambulances and official delegations, and only during daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset.

The update comes amid broader efforts to stabilize aviation operations across Libya, following years of political division, security concerns, and infrastructure challenges. While flight activity at Mitiga continues, occasional scheduling disruptions remain common due to external conditions or logistical factors.
