The Ministry of Economy and Trade reported today that Qatar Airways has been granted permission to open a branch in Libya.
This step, it added, paves the way for completing the necessary operational procedures to reactivate flights and connect Libya to the international air transport network.
The Ministry said this move comes within the context of the gradual improvement in the business climate and the strengthening of international companies' confidence in the Libyan market. This, it added, supports trade and investment and contributes to expanding transportation and logistics options for both the public and private sectors.
The return of international airlines, the Ministry continued, also reflects a growing interest in the Libyan market and supports the country's direction towards strengthening economic partnerships and opening up to regional and international markets.
The Ministry of Economy and Trade said it continues to work on developing regulatory procedures and improving the business environment to keep pace with the aspirations of the Libyan economy for greater integration into the global economy.
