The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdulhamid Dbaiba, announced on Sunday that the Libyan Airbus A340 presidential plane has arrived at Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli, after a stalled eight-year maintenance in France.
In press statements at Mitiga Airport, Dbaiba said that the plane belonged to the Libyan people, and its return to the country is a very important step for restoring national sovereignty. The plane was kept in France due to several financial and administrative obstacles.
According to Dbaiba, the government will endeavour to return 12 Libyan planes from abroad, including two warplanes that are still being held outside the country.
