The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport, Hisham Boshkewet said on Monday the Libyans stranded abroad (around 340 people) will be flown back home to Misurata Airport, onboard the Libyan Airlines, and the Afriqiyah Airways, Boshkewat said, adding that the repatriation flights from Turkey will take around 5 days.

Boshkewat noted that arrangements have been put in place for flights back from Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, and the EU countries, after coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On Sunday, the Ministry of Transportation claimed that it has selected Misurata Airport for the incoming flights of stranded Libyans instead of Tripoli’s Mitiga Airport as its infrastructure has been damaged as a result of the repeated rocket attacks.
