AIR Partner, the global aviation services group, completed a cargo flight to transport airport equipment from the Czech Republic to war-torn Libya. A ceasefire was arranged, but the situation on the ground in some parts of the country remained volatile, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
Air Partner received a request to charter 1,100 kilogrammes of cargo from Czech airport Brno-Turany Airport to Al Abraq International Airport in eastern Libya.
The shipment contained a variety of parts from various European manufacturers, including radio communication equipment, weather stations, antennas, runway lighting equipment to update airport infrastructure.
Air Partner arranged a non-stop charter flight on an Antonov An-26 in the midst of seven years of civil war with contending armed militaries controlling different parts of the country.
Said Air Partner freight director Mike Hill: 'This was a significant step in the renewal of airport services in eastern Libya that will not only facilitate the continued work of NGOs, but also assist future aviation operations and commerce in Libya.'
