TRIPOLI, Sept 16, 2012 (AFP)
Flights to and from Libya’s international airports in Tripoli and Benghazi were suspended on Sunday due to a strike by air traffic controllers, said aviation sources.
The decision to strike was made at about 10:00 am without prior warning to airlines, the sources added, forcing a Tunisair flight to remain grounded at Benina airport in the eastern city of Benghazi.
On Friday, air traffic was temporarily suspended to Benghazi for what officials said were security reasons, following an attack three days earlier on the US consulate in the city in which four Americans, including the ambassador, died.
