Libya's Tripoli based government reported yesterday that Mustafa Al-Mana, Head of the Executive Team for the Prime Minister’s Initiatives and Strategic Projects, held a virtual meeting with a team from Boeing to discuss a plan for developing and qualifying human resources for the newly planned airliner.
The discussion focused on identifying the necessary professional, administrative, and technical talent required for the company’s establishment and operation.
The meeting explored ways to leverage Boeing’s global capabilities and expertise to train and qualify Libyan personnel.
This includes the transfer of technical and operational knowledge through specialized training programmes designed to prepare a national workforce capable of managing and operating the airline in accordance with international standards, while fostering the localization of expertise and building national capacity within the aviation sector.
Representing Boeing at the meeting were Ibrahim Alfarhan, Marketing Director; Karim Freund, Account Director for the Middle East and Africa at Boeing Global Services; and Michael Castle, a senior aviation consultant.
The Tripoli government said this initiative aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba to develop the national aviation sector by establishing a modern airline based on a sustainable operational and financial model.
It said the goal is to provide advanced transport services to citizens and connect Libya to the world, while prioritizing the development and qualification of Libyan talent to lead this sector.
