Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, announced that flights to Tripoli would soon be initiated. These flights will be scheduled to allow maximum connectivity over Abu Dhabi for flights from North and South Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. The Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, Mr James Hogan, said: “As soon as the NATO no-fly zone is lifted, the airport is declared safe and all appropriate infra-structure is in place we will be able to begin services.” The airline is planning three flights a week to the Libyan capital, where it will become the fifth North African destination for the carrier. All return flights should be on sale within weeks.
