After a hiatus of more than 6 years, the first flight from Benghazi’s Benina airport arrived today at Misrata airport.

The Afriqiyah flight had 154 passengers on board. It took off on the return leg with 167 passengers on board, Misrata airport confirmed.

The flights underscore the recent thaw and normalization of relations between the previously split west and east Libya.
