Our exclusive sources revealed that flights at Misrata International Airport were disrupted due to the lack of fuel needed to operate the electric generators. Meanwhile, passengers on board a Turkish Airlines flight were waiting for takeoff, while other flights were also affected by delays.
The sources added: How can a vital facility of this scale come to a standstill because of a shortage of generator fuel? Where are the emergency plans? And where are the authorities responsible for ensuring operational continuity?
The sources further stated: Airports are not ordinary facilities; they are the country’s gateway to the world. Any disruption to their operations affects the country’s reputation, harms passengers and airlines, and reveals shortcomings in management and planning.
The sources stressed that what happened requires an urgent investigation, accountability for those responsible, and the implementation of a mechanism to prevent the recurrence of such a failure, which could have been avoided.
