Commercial flights from Libya to mainland Europe resumed after more than six months, on Saturday with “Volatile Libya,” a Libyan airline taking off to Germany.
Foreign airlines stopped flying to Libya in July when a faction called Libya Dawn attacked a rival group controling Tripoli’s main airport, taking control of the capital after a month of fighting.
Libya Dawn has set up a rival government and forced the internationally-recognized Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni to the east.
The airport and some 20 planes were damaged during the fighting, officials have said.
