Damascus, Sept. 9 (SANA) Syria and Libya discussed the resumption of Libyan Airlines flights to Syria, including the operational requirements and procedures needed to restore air traffic between the two countries.
Director of Aviation Security at the General Authority of Civil Aviation and Air Transport Ghayth Sulaiman and the Authority’s Director of International Cooperation Raafat Kanno held talks with a Libyan Airlines delegation headed by the airline’s Regional Director in Syria Mohammad Mahfouz Douma on ways to strengthen cooperation and coordination in air transport.
The Authority said via its Telegram channel Wednesday that the meeting, held at its headquarters in Damascus, addressed issues related to the air transport agreement signed between the two countries, Libyan Airlines’ desire to resume flights to Syria, as well as the necessary operational requirements and procedures.
