TRIPOLI, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Libyan Misurata International Airport was closed on Sunday until further notice by protesting workers.
"As of today, all flights of Libyan and African airlines have been suspended until further notice and transferred to Tripoli International Airport," Sulaiman Al-Jahimi, media official of Misurata International Airport, told Xinhua.
"Workers of the ground handing company protested because they have not been paid their salaries for more than a year and half," Al-Jahimi added, stressing that officials did not commit to paying their salaries, despite promises over the past few months.
The workers of the ground handing company carried out sit-ins in November 2016 and last September. They were promised to pay their salaries in return for the end of the sit-in, but no payment was made so far.
