Libya says Rome lifts civil aviation ban in Italian airspace

TRIPOLI

Italy has lifted a ten-year-long ban on Libyan civil aviation using Italian airspace, with flights due to resume from September, the Libyan government said on Sunday.

There are currently few airlines operating flights in and out of Libya, a country that has suffered more than a decade of chaos and conflict since Muammar Gadhafi’s downfall in 2011.
