Turkish Airlines schedules Benghazi return
Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines is returning to Benghazi in Libya after a hiatus of more than a decade. The airline plans to introduce flights between Istanbul Airport and Benina International Airport from Jan. 14, 2025. The route will be served three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, using a mix of Boeing 737-800 and 737-900 aircraft. The carrier suspended operations to Libya in November 2014 amid political instability following the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that ousted longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The unrest led to rival administrations in eastern and western Libya, halting international air service. However, Turkish Airlines resumed flights to Libya in April 2024 with five weekly roundtrips to Tripoli’s Mitiga International Airport. Benghazi will now become its second destination in the country.<br/>
