The Italian website timesaerospaceo reported on Thursday that the Italian airline ITA Airways has launched a new direct flight route between Rome Fiumicino Airport and Mitiga Airport.
The website stated that the flights are scheduled to start on January 12, 2025.
The resumption of direct flights between Rome Fiumicino and Mitiga Airport was made possible through significant support from the Italian Prime Minister’s office, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Ministry of Transport, as well as civil aviation authorities from both Italy and Libya.
Andrea Benassi, the CEO of ITA Airways, mentioned: “ITA Airways worked closely with the Prime Minister’s office, the government, and the airline’s foundation to establish regular connections between the two countries.”
He continued, saying that Libya is a highly important market, and this route will strengthen trade between Libya and Italy while supporting many Italian companies operating in Libya, according to the website.
