The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport in Libya’s Government of National Unity, Wissam Al-Idrisi, announced that fines were imposed and contracts were canceled for some contractors due to delays in the Tripoli International Airport project.
Al-Idrisi mentioned that an Egyptian-Turkish-Libyan consortium was contracted to complete the airport, and that the airport’s iron structure has been finalized.
Mohammed Abdulkader, Director General of Tripoli International Airport, noted that a test flight was conducted at the airport for the first time in nearly a decade. He confirmed that both the navigation and control towers have been installed, tested, and the airport has been secured inside and out.
Abdulkader added that flights would partially resume to support Mitiga International Airport, with ongoing efforts to finalize facilities, including the passenger hall, runway repairs, and tower maintenance.
