DHAKA: Emirates airline has resumed passenger flights to Tripoli, the capital and largest city of Libya.
 
Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates’ Vice President Commercial Operations Northern and Western Africa, said, “Libya is showing healthy economic growth and the re-launch of our flights to Tripoli will help to support business, international trade and from Tripoli to the rest of world.”

The Emirates is now serving Tripoli three times a week on every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday with a quick stop in Malta, utilizing a Boeing 777-200ER which provides First Class, Business Class and Economy Class.

In June 2012, Emirates resumed its Tripoli town office enabling customers to book travel on Emirates’ services outside of Libya.

Supporting trade between Tripoli and the rest of the world, Emirates SkyCargo introduced a freighter service to the city in May 2012.

The resumption of passenger flights also enables Emirates SkyCargo to better serve Libyan cargo customers by offering a total weekly capacity of over 100 tonnes and more frequent connections with their supplier markets.
 
The Emirates has a fleet of 201 aircraft and is the world’s largest operator of A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, flying to 134 destinations across six continents.
