Libya adopts regulatory framework for use of in-flight internet services within Libyan airspace

Libya is taking a significant step forward in modernizing its aviation sector by adopting a regulatory framework for in-flight internet services. This initiative, spearheaded by the General Information Authority (GIA), aligns with the National Communications and Information Technology Strategy 2023-2027 and signals Libya's commitment to integrating advanced digital services.

The newly adopted framework, known as Mobile Communications on board Aircraft (MCA), will enable airlines to provide passengers with high-speed internet access. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as Ku-band satellite connectivity and in-flight Wi-Fi, the system is designed with precise technical controls to prevent interference with terrestrial networks and navigation systems.

This development is crucial for enhancing the travel experience, making it more convenient and productive for passengers. In an era where constant connectivity is expected, offering reliable in-flight internet services positions Libya's aviation sector to meet global standards. As stated by Abdelbaset Al-Baour, head of the GIA, Libya is "moving forward with confidence and is capable of keeping pace with the world." This proactive approach demonstrates Libya's ambition to not only modernize its infrastructure but also to actively participate in the global digital transformation.
