Air France may restart flights to Libya

Air France may reopen its flights to Tripoli from Paris more than two decades, the carrier said on Monday. "The Paris Charles de Gaulle to Tripoli route is among the destinations of potential interest to Air France," a spokeswoman for the French airline told AFP, without indicating when a decision would be made.

"Air France is closely following the development of economic ties between France and Libya and the potential development of connecting traffic via Charles de Gaulle," France’s biggest airport, the spokeswoman said on Monday. The Air France spokeswoman said Air France-KLM, the partnership in which the French airline shares bookings with the Netherlands’ top carrier, already runs six flights a week to the Libyan capital from Amsterdam.

A report in the French business daily La Tribune said Air France could run three or four flights a week on the four-hour route using its Airbus A320 aircraft. Air France suspended its flights to Libya in 1989.
