UAE, Libya leaders seek lasting peace in region

The United Arab Emirates and Libya are strengthening their diplomatic and economic ties, with leaders from both nations meeting to discuss cooperation and regional peace.

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan hosted Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh for a working visit. Their discussions centered on enhancing bilateral relations and exploring avenues for cooperation that support mutual interests and the well-being of both countries and their peoples. A key focus was the exchange of views on regional issues, including efforts to foster lasting peace and stability across the Middle East.

With the busy summer period upon us and as we continue to scale up our operations, our customers can benefit from a new gateway to Africa with the launch of our new nonstop service to Benghazi. We are already seeing healthy demand for our three weekly flights to Benghazi and look forward to growing our presence in Libya over the years.

In parallel, the UAE has reorganized its International Humanitarian and Philanthropic Council. President Sheikh Mohamed issued a decree restructuring the council, appointing new members and underscoring the nation's commitment to international humanitarian affairs. This council, established in January 2024, oversees all matters related to global humanitarian efforts.

Further underscoring the growing connection between the UAE and Libya, flydubai recently inaugurated its first service to Benghazi. The airline's new three-times-weekly route makes it the first UAE carrier to operate flights to Benghazi Benina International Airport, expanding flydubai's African network and signaling increased connectivity between the two nations.

Africa remains a strategically important market for flydubai, and we are pleased to have added Benghazi to our network.
