Air Malta Tripoli flight cancelled because of congestion
An Air Malta flight to Tripoli was cancelled this evening because of operational reasons, an airline spokesman said.
Informed sources said the cancellation was forced on the airline because of acute congestion at Tripoli airport. The airport is not accepting any more flights because aircraft have occupied every part of the tarmac.
The sources said some flights on their way to Tripoli may be diverted to Malta.
Air Malta operated a flight from Tripoli early this afternoon and plans to operate another one tomorrow.

I somehow see this as retaliation for not allowing the Libyan Arab Air Liner to land at MIA........ hope it won't be a permanent refusal... otherwise expats will have to boat their way here......
