The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority and the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance coordination in the management and operation of Egyptian and Libyan airspace, ensuring the highest levels of safety and operational efficiency according to international standards.

Minister of Civil Aviation Sameh Hefni and Head of the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority Mohammad Abdel Salam Shalibk, attended the signing ceremony.

 The step aligns with the political leadership’s directives to strengthen Arab ties and regional partnerships.

Hefni reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to providing technical support and institutional coordination to Libya, with a focus on integrating aviation safety, security, and airspace management between the two countries.

The MoU provides for sharing expertise to restructure and develop Libyan airspace and implement advanced navigation technologies. It also sets the stage for better coordination of air traffic flows, supporting safer, more efficient flights.

Hefni described the MoU as a major step toward regional airspace integration and the adoption of global aviation safety standards. He added that it would help improve flight connections, reduce travel times, lower operational costs, generate economic benefits, and boost the competitiveness of both countries’ airspace.

“Egypt remains committed to expanding strategic partnerships with neighboring countries to advance the region’s civil aviation sector,” the minister said.
