A Libyan Airlines flight with about 255 passengers on board flew into Cairo International Airport, marking the first time in seven years that the airline touched down in the neighboring country.

It was carrying about 255 passengers, and all precautionary and preventive measures were taken against COVID-19.
Cairo International Airport organized a protocol celebration for the arrival of the Libyan Airlines flight.
The decision to resume flights coincided with the visit of the prime minister of Libya’s Government of National Unity to Egypt, during which a number of agreements were signed between the two sides.
