The CEO of MedSky, Siraj Al-Fitouri, announced yesterday that the carrier will be launching flights to Paris soon.
This will be MedSky’s seventh European destination after Athens, Dusseldorf, Madrid, Malta, Milan, and Rome.
The CEO said first time in over 15 years, direct flights between Libya and France are resuming; a milestone that reflects MedSky’s vision of reconnecting Libya with key European capitals.
This destination, he continued, also heralds a new phase in connecting Africa and Europe via Libya, establishing Paris as a major gateway within MedSky’s expanding network.
Other flights to European destinations soon?
In other recent posts on his social media account, Al-Fitouri has hinted of more new European destinations, including to London.
