Tripoli airport suspends flights after air raid: airline

Libyan airport authorities suspend aerial traffic to Tripoli after an air strike against the capital’s only functioning airport, the national carrier and an airport source say.

The civil aviation authority has decided “to suspend aerial traffic until further notice” to Mitiga airport, says Mohammed Gniwa, a spokesman for Libyan Airlines. An airport source, who did want to be named, confirms the closure.
