LIBYA: Prime Minister Meets Toscana Aeroporti over Tripoli Int'l Airport Plans

TRIPOLI, Libya

• Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaib met Martin Francesco, Chairman of Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A., and Chief Executive Officer Roberto Naldi.
• Mahmoud Ajaj, Chairman of the Libyan Local Investment and Development Fund (LLIDF), and Yassin Al-Abyad, Director General of the Economic and Social Development Fund (ESDF), also attended.

• Toscana Aeroporti presented its technical vision and proposed plan for operating Tripoli International Airport.
• The Libyan capital's primary gateway, Tripoli International has been closed since it sustained heavy damage during 2014 fighting. Since then, Mitiga has handled most Tripoli traffic. And while works on finishing the new passenger terminal and airside infrastructure have been progressing, no specific reopening date has been given.
• As such, Toscana Aeroporti's plan covers management oversight as well as operations and measures to ensure service standards meet international airport levels.
• Aldabaib required the plan to rest on comprehensive technical foundations that reflect the airport's status and role. He called for operational efficiency and service quality that meet traveller and airline expectations.
• Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. specialises in airport management and operations and oversees Florence and Pisa airports in the Italian region of Tuscany.
• It was founded in 2015 as a result of the merger of “Aeroporto di Firenze,” the concessionaire for Florence Airport, and “Società Aeroporto Toscano,” the concessionaire for Pisa Airport.
