Emirates has decided to increase its services to Libya. It has de-linked Tripoli from its Dubai-Malta-Tripoli-Dubai routing and instead is operating non-stop flights to Tripoli using a Boeing 777-200.

Emirates is now flying from Dubai to Malta four times weekly via Larnaca, Cyprus. Passengers from Malta have the option to travel to Cyprus and/or onward to Dubai either on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday on the A330-200.

From October 30 the airline will add two extra flights per week to the Libyan capital.

Operating every Monday and Wednesday, the additional flights will boost Emirates' services to Tripoli to five flights per week.

A spokesman for Emirates said that with the final lifting of sanctions, Libya is presenting UAE-based businesses with excellent opportunities for economic co-operation. The first in a long series of initiatives is the UAE In Libya exhibition to be held in Tripoli from November 27 to 30.

Offering UAE-based companies a gateway to capitalise on Libya's new era of growth and development, the exhibition will bring together oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, tourism, real estate, IT and telecommunication companies, with Libya's most influential government bodies in a highly interactive forum.
