Afriqiyah Airways (AAW, Tripoli Mitiga) and other airlines that use Tripoli International have resumed limited operations at the airfield following an attack there on Friday, March 21.
Libya's LANA Newswire reported that two rockets hit the airfield's primary runway 09/27 at around 6am on Friday morning though other reports claim unidentified people planted timed-bombs on the runway which detonated thereafter.
On Saturday, Libya's Transport Minister, Abdelqader Mohammed Ahmed, said flights had resumed using other runways while the damaged one was being repaired.
Libya is fighting militias that assisted in the overthrow of former strongman Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, many of whom have kept their arms to demand more power, wealth, and oil.
