Two flights operated from the airport on Thursday, the first day of resumption of flights. STORY-LINE: This is Tripoli’s Mitiga International Airport, the only airport operating in Libya’s west. The airport has reopened after it was closed on 1 September amid heavy fighting between rival militias.. “Flights were resumed at Mitiga International Airport starting today, December 12, as previously agreed with the airlines companies in previous meetings,” says Lotfi al-Tabib, Director of Mitiga International Airport. Two flights headed out on the first day, one to Tunisia via Libyan Airlines and the second to Istanbul via the Afriqiyah Airways, al-Tabib adds. Operations will be gradually restored at the airport, he says, with the remaining airlines operating their flights in succession, starting next week. Prior to its reopening, the airport underwent extensive maintenance for weeks, according to al-Tabib. Mitiga airport was closed down after shelling hit what was Tripoli’s only functional civilian airport. At the time, the U.N. mission in Libya said four projectiles struck the area, with one hitting an airplane carrying pilgrims coming back from Saudi Arabia. The clashes began eight months ago when eastern-based fighters, the self-styled Libyan National Army, launched a siege to take the capital from the weak but U.N.-supported government. Since 2015, Libya has been split by rival governments, one in the east and the other in Tripoli. After almost eight months, the capital’s siege has been fought to a stalemate. Throughout the closure of the airport, flights were operating through Misrata Airport, 200 km east of Tripoli.
