Tripoli – The administration of Mitiga International Airport announced the return of operations to normal status, following an improvement in weather conditions that had caused the suspension of air traffic in recent hours, according to an Aeronautical Information Publication (NOTAM).
The administration confirmed that air navigation services have fully resumed following the stabilization of weather conditions, which have reached safe levels for takeoff and landing. Operational teams continue to monitor the skies to ensure the safety and smooth flow of air traffic.
This resumption comes after a wave of weather fluctuations that affected a number of airports in the region, before conditions gradually improved, allowing flights to return to their regular schedules.
Mitiga International Airport
Mitiga International Airport is a major airport in Tripoli, Libya, originally built as an Italian airbase in the 1920s. It later served as a U.S. Air Force base until 1970 and has since functioned as Libya’s primary civilian airport, though it has also seen significant use as a military facility during periods of conflict.
Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire, known as Oea, and has since been ruled by the Byzantines, Arabs, Ottomans, Italians, and finally achieved independence as part of modern Libya. The city’s historic core, the Medina, contains ancient architecture reflecting these diverse cultural influences.
