Global Air Transport (5S, Tripoli Mitiga) has resumed cargo flights between Europe and Libya using a wet-leased AHS Air International (AHS, Karachi International) B747-200(F). The LoadStar publication reports the fortnightly flights operate from Ostend in Belgium to Tripoli Mitiga as Tripoli International is still largely unserviceable owing to months of heavy inter-factional fighting there.

Global had originally intended to use a B747-300(F) on the route but this was rejected by the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority (LyCAA). The LyCAA reportedly grants traffic rights for the route on an ad-hoc basis with night operations expressly forbidden.

Global Aviation also operates a weekly flight from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates to Tripoli.
