On October 28, a Libyan Express successfully conducted a test flight with its Beech 200 King Air aircraft, landing and taking off from the airport's secondary runway.

Abdelkader said that a navigation control tower has been installed and successfully tested, and that both internal and external security measures have been established to ensure the airport’s safety.

He added that partial flight operations are set to resume at Tripoli International Airport, aimed at supporting Mitiga International Airport by sharing the load of certain flights.
