Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing airlines, is to restart flights to Tripoli from 29 October 2012, illustrating Libya’s importance in Emirates' global network and the airline's commitment to the country.
Under the new schedule, Emirates’ four-weekly flights to Tripoli will leave Dubai every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 0925hrs and arrive at Tripoli International Airport at 1400hrs. Flights to and from Tripoli will be served by an Airbus A330-200 in a 3-class configuration offering 12 First Class, 42 Business Class and 183 Economy seats, alongside up to 15 tonnes of cargo-carrying capacity.
“In resuming our flights to Tripoli, Emirates is underlining its commitment to Libya at a time when the country is demonstrating its strength and resilience in the face of adversity,” said Jean Luc Grillet, Emirates Senior Vice President Commercial Operations for Africa. “We have been closely monitoring the situation in Libya and feel that the time is right to re-launch our services, which will help to support business, international trade and passenger travel to and from Tripoli, as well as strengthening the country's overall infrastructure.”
