The International Civil Aviation Organization lifts the airspace restrictions imposed on Libya for more than 10 years.

Mohamed Shahubi, Minister of Transport of Libya's Government of National Unity, said on the 26th that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has withdrawn its aviation safety warnings and restrictions regarding Libyan airspace. In a statement, Shahubi said this decision is the result of years of efforts by the Government of National Unity to develop the aviation industry, strengthen aviation safety, and raise security standards. He stated that the government will launch a promotional campaign targeting international airlines to encourage them to resume direct flights to Libya and to make greater use of Libyan airspace as an air corridor connecting Europe and Africa. Due to the deterioration of the security situation following the 2011 armed conflict in Libya, ICAO issued relevant warnings regarding the safety of its airspace in 2013 and 2015 respectively.
