EgyptAir to resume flights to Libya next week

EgyptAir said on Sunday it would resume flights to Libya next week, seven months after the airline suspended operations to its Arab neighbour following the outbreak of an uprising in February that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.

Hussein Massoud, chairman of the EgyptAir holding company, said the first flight would fly on Sunday, Oct. 2, to Libya's second city, Benghazi, where the airline had operated one flight a day from Cairo before the uprising. (Reuters)
