Emirates Resumes Flights to Libya – Nz Connection 

Emirates has resumed passenger flights to Tripoli, the capital and largest city of Libya.  

“We are now connecting Tripoli not only to Dubai, but also to our worldwide network of more than 130 destinations. Solid early bookings have demonstrated the demand, opening up new markets for passengers to and from Libya,” said Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates’ Vice President Commercial Operations Northern and Western Africa.

“Libya is showing healthy economic growth and the re-launch of our flights to Tripoli will help to support business, international trade and from Tripoli to the rest of world.” 

Emirates now serves Tripoli three times a week with a quick stop in Malta, utilising a Boeing 777-200ER which provides First Class, Business Class and Economy Class travel. Flight EK745, which leaves Dubai every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 9.30am, provides direct connections for business and leisure travellers on all Emirates flights from New Zealand to Dubai.

Tripoli is one of the main hubs of Libya's economy and, home to many of the country's largest local and international companies. In June 2012, Emirates re-opened its Tripoli town office enabling customers to book travel on Emirates’ services outside of Libya. 

Emirates has a fleet of 201 aircraft and is the world’s largest operator of A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, flying to 134 destinations in 74 countries across six continents. The airline has most recently announced that its latest destination to be added to its network will be Taipei, with services from Dubai six days a week from February 10.
