#Lufthansa Halt #Libya Flights While Air Malta Resume Theirs

Germany's Lufthansa and its subsidiary Austrian Airlines have halted flights to Tripoli due to what insecurity, the way a spokeswoman put it on Tuesday. However, Air Malta has resumed flights to Benghazi despite a British Foreign Office’s claim of “imminent” threat over two weeks ago.

Lufthansa flew three times a week to Tripoli and Austrian, bought by Lufthansa in 2009, flew to Tripoli twice a week.

"We have taken the decision given the developments in Tripoli and the tense situation in the region," the Lufthansa spokeswoman said.

Air Malta said it had canceled flights to Benghazi last month after Britain said on January 24 it was aware of a "specific and imminent" threat to Westerners in the eastern Libyan city.

Air Malta company resumed flights to Benghazi four days later and the so called “imminent” threat has never materialised.

Enjoying the newly found freedom and democracy in the country, some Libyans are calling for demonstrations to commemorate the second anniversary of the uprising against the former dictator Gaddafi.

The Libyan government has taken extra security measures in order to prevent the demonstrations from being exploited by elements that may change their peaceful nature.

The security situation in Libya has been stable for the last three weeks and life is turning to normal as reconstruction has begun in many parts of the country starting by completing projects that were suddenly halted in February 2011 when the uprising took place.
