Yesterday, the Libyan Businessmen Council in Benghazi claimed that they made an agreement with the Syrian side to launch a direct flight route between Damascus and Benghazi.
According to a statement issued by the Council, that includes a group of businessmen from Benghazi, the Syrian General Authority of Civil Aviation gave permission to Libyan airlines to resume flights to Damascus.
The declaration came after last month’s meeting attended by representatives of the Libyan Businessmen Council (Benghazi branch) along with the Syrian Exporters Federation, in addition to the General Authority of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Transport in Syrian Arab Republic.
According to the Council’s statement , the reconnection of the Syrian airspace aims at reinforcing cooperation and direct trade exchange with Syria, achieving the common interest, as well as developing the trade balance between the two countries.
