São Paulo – For the first time, Libya will hold an event focused on the civil aviation sector. The Libya Aviation Forum & Expo will take place from November 6 to 8 in Tripoli, the capital of the Arab country. The event aims to present development projects in the infrastructure and services sectors and upturn the country’s aviation sector.
Libyan civil aviation began in 1953. Libyan Arab Airlines was founded in 1964. Libya also has another state-owned airline, Afriqiyah, established in 2002. All public airlines are owned by the Libyan African Aviation Holding Company, founded in 2007.
The sector has seen better years and functioned as a hub between Southern Europe, Western Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2011, the country has faced more challenges and an up-and-coming private sector. Tripoli International Airport suffered massive damage in 2014. Today, Mitiga International, located in Tripoli, is the hub for domestic and international airlines.
Other active airports in the country are Misurata International Airport and Benina International in Benghazi, with other regional airports operational in Sebha and Zintan.
The forum and exhibition will be a specialized event featuring professionals, experts, and stakeholders to discuss and shed light on the immediate and future needs of the aviation sector. The event will cover commercial, infrastructure, services, and development topics and bring together the public and private sectors and global stakeholders.
Libya Aviation Forum & Expo has registration open for exhibitors and visitors. More information is on the official event website.
